Velociraptor and Other Raptors and Small Carnivores
Velociraptors were members of a group of dinosaurs that included small, bird-like carnivores. The word “raptor” comes from the Latin word “seize,” which means to take something by force. This explains the way the Velociraptor and other raptors survived—by forcefully taking what they needed. Although most were smaller than an adult human, they are believed to have been fierce hunters with several weapons. They had sharp teeth and a sharp claw on each hind foot. Colorful illustrations of carnivorous raptors will engage and amaze readers.
