Velociraptors had a hunting style identical to that of the modern-day wolf. Using superior numbers and intelligence, they singled out one member of a pack and worked together to bring it down, feasting on the animal immediately.

When Velociraptor hunted for small prey such as mammals and lizards, it would ambush and then strike, capturing it in its mouth, killing it, and then eating it. For larger prey, such as Protoceratops, Velociraptor would ambush, then possibly sprint to capture it. Once it got a hold of its prey, it would stab the victim in the throat with its sickle claw in order to kill it.

Velociraptor probably hunted in packs. They probably used hunting strategies, for example, two Velociraptors would distract the prey while two more came in from the back for the kill.
