Velociraptor, a small but intelligent predator from Late Cretaceous Mongolia, hunted in packs. Fossil evidence in the Djadokhta Formation suggests it was a swift and agile carnivore. While not as large as portrayed in popular culture, Velociraptor was an effective predator, possibly preying on smaller dinosaurs and early mammals.
