Dromaeosaurus was a raptor-like dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous Period (about 76 to 74 million years ago), and is the species that gave the Dromaeosauridae family its name. It belongs to the same family as Velociraptor and Deinonychus, and had sickle-shaped claws on its second toe. It had a very strong skull.
