Near the end, all the dinosaurs had only each other to feast upon.

Well... They could catch a pterosaur on the ground. Pterosaurs couldn’t have been very agile on the ground.

Thanx this is very interesting and there is also a bit of language humor here as ‘hone’ means ‘bone’ in japanese.

but how exactly did this dinosaur manage to eat a winged snack?

Same way my Lab/Rottie/whatever mix managed to snatch the neighbor's escaped iridescent bird out of the air, and leave nothing but gleaming green feathers on the back porch.

Which I quickly swept away after promising to keep an eye out for 'Peaches'.

The wool suit is long gone, but this ancestor ate well.

but how exactly did this dinosaur manage to eat a winged snack? According to the paper's abstract, this helps solidify the idea that Velociraptor sometimes scavenged for its supper, a matter Hone will be exploring very soon on his blog.

What a ridiculous conclusion. Cats catch birds all the time, and my cat even brought a bat into the house once. Fortunately it was dead. Velociraptor was likely lying in wait behind a bush and then suddenly POUNCE, pterosaur was lunch. That is how Oscar does it, he is dang good at it. If I could stomach his kills my food bill would be minimal.

What did Velociraptor have for dinner?

A Tooslowiraptor.
