What environment did velociraptors live in?

Answer 1

Velociraptor lived in what is now Mongolia between 74 and 71 million years ago. Like today, that region was a desert at the time. Natural prey included small animals and even dinosaurs as large as Protoceratops. However, I think they probably could have survived in any open environment with sufficient prey.

Answer 2

They lived mostly in a dry desert with sand dunes, or forests of Dawn Redwoods, where there were rocks or underbrush by a watering hole, which is a perfect spot for Velociraptor to lie in ambush of prey.

Answer 3

Velociraptor lived in what is now Mongolia and north-central China between 75 and 71 million years ago. This area was a desert at the time, complete with vast areas of sand dunes and frequent sandstorms. Life was sustained by scattered creeks, which would be surrounded by vegetation. Plants were sparse except near sources of water, where there would be oases. Types of plants include conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, horsetails, and early angiosperms, such as primitive grasses and palm trees.

Answer 4

The simple answer: Hot, dry environment!

Explanation: Streams in these prehistorical deserts would be the perfect place to ambush prey! Velociraptors would be able to ambush prey easily! Also, Velociraptors had to adapt to its native country ( Asia ) which was a desert at the time! The Velociraptor was first discovered in Gobi Desert in August 1923 by Peter Kaisen in the American Museum of Natural History exhibition!

I hope this helped!
