'''Only known from a few teeth and a partial jaw Nuthetes was England's very own Velociraptor for it may not have been very large but, it would have been dangerous enough on its own for it's killing claw, wolf-like hunting instincts, quick reflexes and fast movements. They would have behaved more like birds than actual dinosaurs also they would have sounded more bird-like for they would have given off a type of squealing screech rather than large roar since their chest muscles couldn't be big enough to make that much of a sound. With low pitch sounds that they only make these raptors would be able to hunt down their prey in complete silence like an assassin. Their color could have matched up to what environment they would be specifically living in so they may have lived in forests or shrub land and may have been greenish colors giving them an advantage to them when hunting.'''

'''Nuthetes may have hunted alone after small animals like: lizards, primitive mammals, fish, turtles, snakes, primitive birds and insects, or may have hunted in packs to go after larger prey like dinosaurs such as iguanodon or Hypsilophodon. They may have feathered just be used as an insulator and as disguise when hunting, though they may have been used for display as well for all birds today usually use their feathers for mating displays.'''
