This model, known as the "raptor prey restraint" (RPR) model of predation, proposes that dromaeosaurs killed their prey in a manner very similar to extant accipitrid birds of prey: by leaping onto their quarry, pinning it under their body weight, and gripping it tightly with the large, sickle-shaped claws.
Questo modello, nominato il modello "raptor prey restraint" (RPR), propone che "Velociraptor" uccidesse le sue prede in un modo simile agli uccelli rapaci accipitridi; "Velociraptor" sarebbe saltato sopra la preda, trattenendola col suo peso corporeo e aggrappandosi strettamente ad essa con gli artigli ricurvi.
