Dromaeosaurus
Dromaeosaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived in
the late Cretaceous period,
about 76 to 72 million years ago.
Fossils have so far been
found in Alberta, Canada,
and the western United States.
Dromaeosaurus was about 6 feet (1.8 meters) long and weighed about 33 pounds (15 kilograms).
Dromaeosaurus was a predator but may also have relied on scavenging.
It had a sharp curved claw on each of its hind feet, very powerful jaws (perhaps three times
as power as Velociraptor), and
teeth that seem to have been used for crushing rather than slicing flesh.
