Dromaeosaurus was a medium-sized theropod dinosaur, about 2m (6ft) long and 15kg (33lb) in weight, from the Middle-Late Cretaceous 92,000,000-72,000,000 BCE. It had a short, massive skull, deep mandible, and robust teeth, which seem to be made for crushing and tearing meat due to the heavy wear marks on them. It had a very stiff tail, like all dromaeosaurs, and it had a huge, sickle-like claw on its second toe, most likely used to stab the throat of its prey.

Young raptor

It is the main dinosaur in the Middle Cretaceous segment. They're commomly called "raptors" in the segment as they are part of the raptor family. A pack of 3 Dromaeosaurus is seen eating a dead Zuniceratops. Then a lone raptor comes to eat, and the pack scare him off. He runs into a Nothronychus and is wary, as he had never seen one before. The raptor sees it is possbly prey so he attacks, but he gets hit by the Nothronychus's claws. Raptors rarely makes mistakes, but Nothronychus is rare in America. The raptor runs away to let the odd dinosaur feed on the trees. Later, when

A raptor then attack and use their toe claws to slash it's flesh as well as their hand claws. But a Zuniceratops headbutts it. The whole pack run away.
