Since Velociraptor was the first to be named, these species were renamed Velociraptor antirrhopus and V. langstoni. [22] As of 2008, the only currently recognized species of Velociraptor are V. mongoliensis [14] [37] [38] and V. osmolskae. [15] However, several studies have found "V." osmolskae to be distantly related to V. mongoliensis. [39] [40]
It preserves a Protoceratops andrewsi and Velociraptor mongoliensis trapped in combat about 74 million years ago [1] and provides direct evidence of predatory behavior in non-avian dinosaurs. The specimen has caused much debate as to how both animals came to be preserved together with relative completeness.
Velociraptor is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived approximately 75 to 71 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Epoch.
