Although not very big, this bird like dromaeosaur had all the equipment of a ferocious predator long muscular legs, and sharply clawed toes and finger. Its skull was light and strong, containing big eye, a relatively large brain and long jaw lined with inwardly curving sharp teeth.The tail was stiffened with bony rods. The tail balanced the body with the hips acting as pivot and allowing agile movement on its two legs. on the foot the claws could be lifted to prevent them becoming blunt during walking. and when a leg was kicked foward, the second toe, with its big, sharp, curved claw, could be snapped down like a sickle. the long arm had flexible wrists that could move sideways like those of birds.

What unique adaptaions helped the velociraptor survive in its habitat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Velociraptor was small, at only 6 feet in length, 2 feet in height, and a weight of only 33 lbs. However, they were formidable for their size. They not only had their jaws and teeth, but strong arms and hands, each hand with three long claws. Their special weapon was a 2.6 inch long, curved claw on one toe of each foot. If attacked, Velociraptor could put any of these to use in order to escape. They were also fast, so they could outrun most danger if they saw it coming.

How does the velociraptor usually live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Velociraptor probably lived less than twenty years maximum, maybe as little as 15. Velociraptor was warm blooded, and it was a small carnivore. Small, warm blooded carnivores don't usually live very long today, and theropod dinosaurs, which were related to Velociraptor, such as Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus, lived less than 30 years.

Did the velociraptor have feathers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The arm bones of Velociraptor have been found to have quill knobs, which are attachment points for some types of feathers. A lack of quill knobs doesn't mean the animal didn't have feathers, but the presence of quill knobs if definitive proof that Velociraptor had wing-like feathers on its arms.

How long was velociraptor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Estimating a dinosaur's life-span is guesswork. It depends on a lot of factors including whether they were warmblooded or cold-blooded (and this controversy has not been settled). Also, most dinosaurs, like other wild creatures, die long before their optimal age from attacks, disease, injuries, natural disasters, etc. I've never seen an estimate of Velociraptor's life-span.

How do velociraptors mate?

Asked by Wiki User

Much like a wolf, Velociraptors had an established mating season and very frequently studied their partners before performing the act of mating, which was done with the male behind the female and mounting in a very similar manner to a canine.

Asked by Wiki User

Velociraptor was the second most formidable predator where it lived. The only one that was larger is a species of tyrannosaur known from fragmentary remains. It may actually be Alectrosaurus, a 17 foot long tyrannosaur. Velociraptor would have to be careful to avoid Alectrosaurus.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Velociraptor was a droameosaurid while Archaeopteryx was an Ave. Velociraptor lived in the cretaceous period and Archaeopteryx in the Jurassic period. They both might be ancestors to birds but i think their common ancestor must have been a medium sized droaemeosaurid.

It is good to go without food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Obviously not. Food is a neccesity. Without food, you die.

However, it is alright to go without food if you are fasting. Such as Jews, Chrisians, and Muslims. But you must always go back to food.

Without food, your cells can die. Then they begin to eat themselves trying to get food. You can suffer a heart attack, stroke, and blood clots without it.

------------this is right.......if you don't eat you starve....................i bet if you don't eat you wont understand waht i am srtatnig to type rhigt now.
