These dinosaurs reached speeds of up to 65 km/hour and were able to make quick turns thanks to their stiff tails. To eat their prey, Velociraptors had eighty sharp, curved teeth in their flat snout, some of which were 2.5 cm long. Velociraptors are thought to be one of the most intelligent and swiftest dinosaurs. A cunning hunter.
