- Dromaeosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur belonging to the Dromaeosauridae family (typically referred to as "raptors") that lived during the late Cretaceous about 75- 65million years ago. It was a successful pack hunting theropod, able to reach great speeds, with powerful jumping, it took on larger herbivores, such as Edmontosaurus, by gathering in large packs.
- Dromaeosaurus was a small carnivore, about 2 m (6.6 ft) in length and 15 kg (33 lb) in weight. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and it had a sharply curved "sickle claw" on each foot. It lived during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, however, some fragmentary remains such as teeth which may belong to this genus have been found from the late Maastrichtian age Lance and Hell Creek Formations, dating to 66 million years ago.
