The video explores a theory about a Velociraptor and Protoceratops locked in combat 71 million years ago in the Gobi Desert. The Velociraptor attacked the Protoceratops, aiming for its neck, but the Protoceratops fought back, breaking the Velociraptor's arm. The outcome of their battle remains a mystery, with theories suggesting they were buried by a sand dune or the Protoceratops fell on the Velociraptor. In 1971, paleontologists discovered their fossilized remains, known as the Fighting Dinosaurs, providing valuable insights into dinosaur behavior and the prehistoric world.
