@dinosaurcomics DiD YOU KNOW Dino VELOCIRAPTOR VELOCIRAPTOR WAS A SMALL DROMAEOSAURID FROM LATE CRETACEOUS MONGOLIA. ITS NAME WAS MADE FAMOUS IN THE FILM "JURASSIC PARK". THE MOST FAMOUS FOSSIL FIND IS CALLED THE "THE FIGHTING DINOSAURS". THE FIND SHOWED A PROTOCERATOPS AND VELOCIRAPTOR ENGAGED IN A LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE RIGHT BEFORE A SAND DUNE FELL ON BOTH OF THEM! UNLIKE THE FILMS THAT POPULARIZED THEM, VELOCIRAPTOR HAD FEATHERS AND WERE ONLY THE SIZE OF A TURKEY! GULP WHAT'RE YOU LOOKIN' AT PUNK? LIKE MANY "RAPTOR" DINOSAURS, VELOCIRAPTOR POSSESSED A KILLING CLAW ON ITS SECOND TOE. RATHER THAN SLASHING, THE TOE WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN USED TO IMPALE VITAL AREAS SUCH AS ARTERIES, VEINS AND ORGANS, CAUSING ITS PREY TO VIOLENTLY BLEED OUT UNTIL DEATH. WHILE IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THEY EXHIBITED PACK HUNTING BEHAVIOR, VELOCIRAPTOR MAY HAVE TRAVELED IN GROUPS WHERE THEY MOBBED LARGER PREY WHENEVER THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF. IT IS POSSIBLE THEY LIVED IN FAMILY GROUPS AS WELL! wwwwww IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING AN EXPEDITION TO MONGOLIA IN 1923 BY PETER KAISEN. SINCE THEN, MANY FOSSIL SPECIMENS OF THE ANIMAL HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED, GIVING US A COMPLETE SKELETON! ITS NAME MEANS "SWIFT THIEF". VELOCIRAPTOR LIVED IN A HOT, ARID ENVIRONMENT THAT POSSESSED SOME STREAMS AND RIVERS. ITS DIET CONSISTED MAINLY OF SMALL PREY SUCH AS LIZARDS, AMPHIBIANS AND MAMMALS. IT FREQUENTLY TACKLED LARGER PREY SUCH AS PROTOCERATOPS! VELOCIRAPTOR LIKELY USED THE RAPTOR PREY RESTRAINT MODEL TO HUNT. BY LEAPING ONTO QUARRY, PINNING IT DOWN WITH ITS WEIGHT AND GRIPPING TIGHTLY WITH ITS SHARP CLAWS, IT WOULD HAVE BEGUN TO FEED WHILE ATOP ITS PREY UNTIL IT BLED OUT OR EXPERIENCED ORGAN FAILURE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO HOW LIVING BIRDS OF PREY TAKE DOWN THEIR QUARRY. THOUGH SMALL, VELOCIRAPTOR IS ONE OF MANY DINOSAURS TO CHANGE THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF THEM FROM BEING DUMB, LAZY LIZARDS TO ACTIVE BIRD-LIKE ANIMALS.
