===Senses=== Examinations of the endocranium of ''Velociraptor'' indicate that it was able to detect and hear a wide range of sound frequencies (2,368β3,965 Hz) and could track prey with ease as a result. The endocranium examinations also further cemented the theory that the dromaeosaur was an agile, swift predator. Fossil evidence suggesting ''Velociraptor'' scavenged also indicates that it was an opportunistic and actively predatory animal, feeding on carrion during times of drought or famine, if in poor health, or depending on the animal's age.<ref>{{Cite journal|doi=10.1111/joa.13253|title=The endocranium and trophic ecology of Velociraptor mongoliensis|year=2020|last1=King|first1=J.
