How did velociraptor protect itself?
Velociraptors when threatened would most likely give a threat display involving loud noises and gesticulations emphasizing its claws and teeth. If alone, a velociraptor would probably flee if the danger did not abate after the threat display. However, velociraptors lived in packs much like the wolves of today, and so a velociraptor would generally always be in a position to call its pack-mates to its defense. A pack of velociraptors would defend itself by encircling an aggressor and making sychronised and lightning fast attacks at its sides. In single combat while vying for position within the pack, a velociraptor would probably attack opponents only in non-vital areas and cease fighting long before either raptor was seriously injured. These conclusions are drawn from the morphology of velociraptors, their known lifestyle based on fossil footprints and toothmarks on other fossils, and comparison with similar animals of today. These conclusion may very well be incorrect as no one has ever seen a velociraptor
