Banded-Tail Raptors are yet another species of dromaeosaurids native to the eastern part of Arcadia. Much like their close relatives, the Jungle Raptors, these small dinosaurs are on the lower end of the food chain, hunting small reptiles and invertebrates, while avoiding larger creatures.
Unlike their relatives, however, Banded-Tail Raptors are a far more gregarious species; they roam the jungle in small packs, typically consisting of one adult male, 2-5 adult females, and their chicks. Males can be easily distinguished from females by their vibrant orange and red plumage, as well as their blue faces. Females, meanwhile, are green in color, to help them blend in with the vegetation while they are brooding.
Banded-Tail Raptors practice communal nesting behaviors, in which the male impregnates all the females in the pack, and each of those lays their eggs in a single, well-hidden nest. The females then take turns guarding and incubating the eggs while the rest of the pack hunts for food.
The chicks are then raised by the whole pack for about 18 months before they are mature enough to leave and start their own families. While they stay with their parents, the older chicks also help in raising their younger siblings, at the same time learning how to take care of them.
