It’s a breezy day in the desert of Late Cretaceous Mongolia around 75 million years ago, and this Velociraptor mongoliensis has perched on some high rocks to avoid the blowing sand clouds. Velociraptor’s name may be the most famous of the dromaeosaurids thanks to the Jurassic Park franchise, but these particular animals would have been much smaller than their film and novel counterparts, reaching the size of a modern turkey. They still could very well have been fierce predators though, as one specimen was found locked in combat with the ceratopsian Protoceratops when it died.
