Many facts about the Velociraptor are well known. This is mainly due to the discovery of several fossils. It lived during the Cretaceous period and became extinct about 70 to 80 million years ago. Like the other dinosaurs it is likely believed that it must have perished when a comet struck the Earth at the time.
