Description: During the late Cretaceous Period, the area now known as the Gobi Desert had a semi-arid climate. The fossils of many species of dinosaurs have been found there, such as Protoceratops, Oviraptor, and Velociraptor.

Velociraptor was a fierce predator that might have lived in hunting packs. A fossil of a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops locked in battle indicates that this therapod was a predator of Protoceratops.
