Dinosaurs are a very popular topic in origami. We’ve posted about them before and we’re probably not going to run out of awesome dinosaur origami in a very long time so here’s another post full of incredible origami dinosaurs.

Tran Trung Hieu is a master at designing origami dinosaurs so we’ll open this post with this amazing Velociraptor.
