Do you think Velociraptor was nocturnal or diurnal?
The only quantitative study that has been done on this subject is Schmitz and Motani (2011) looking at sclerotic ring morphology, which concluded that Velociraptor was nocturnal. There is some skepticism about how reliable their method is, but sclerotic ring morphology does appear to correlate pretty well with activity patterns of modern animals, so it's probably the best lead we've got for now.
So this story which features a nocturnal Velociraptor character is accurate?
There's nothing we know of that contradicts nocturnality in Velociraptor, at least.
