Dromaeosaurus albertensis, named from the Greek dromaies, "swift
running " plus sauros," lizard".
Species named for type locale, Alberta, Canada
It is generally felt that D. albertensis with it's large brain
and small size was a group hunter, allowing them to bring down much larger
prey. A feature that sets it apart from most theropods was a greatly enlarged
foot claw designed to cripple even large animals. It's bird-like skull
held long jaws with many sharp serrated teeth. Though first found in Alberta,
they were later discovered in WY and SD to the end of the Cretaceous Period.
