Description
A lot of paleoart involves dinosaurs hunting things, mainly because it makes for a cool picture. However, it's important to keep in mind how animals hunt. There's no roaring or other vocalizations involved; in fact, predators are usually dead silent when hunting. The prey animal might make noise, but only if it's warning other members of its species or in pain. If you want your hunting scene to be realistic, keep your dinosaurs' mouths closed. Additionally, make sure that your predator is focused on its prey but the prey is focused on where it's running. Prey animals don't look back at their pursuers to see where they are!
