Pyroraptor

   This Dromeasaurid dinosaur lived in the late cretaceous period approximately 70.6 million years ago. This dinosaur is a fierce predator that is a carnivore. Only a single specimen has been found, in the Arc Basin of Province, France in 1992. When it was first discovered, paleontologists thought it was a species of Megalosaurus. The Pyroraptor, having only one specimen, only has one species, Pyroraptor Olympius. Its name came from where it was discovered actually. It was found at the foot of Mount Olympe. Its name in Greek is "Fire Thief". It had a large curved claw on each of its feet. These curved claws are 2.5 inches long. It was one of those species of dinosaurs that probably had feathers. Its teeth were serrated and curved backward.
