Velocirapt­ors did hunt ‘like wolves’

-

Velocirapt­ors really did behave like wolves and hunt down their prey in packs as depicted in the movie Jurassic Park, a top dinosaur expert has said.

In common with other bird-like “raptor” dinosaurs, they were highly intelligen­t, according to Dr Stephen Brusatte from the University of Edinburgh.

Velocirapt­ors, which lived around 73 million years ago, were small, but vicious.

They measured about seven foot long and weighed up to 15kg.
