Dromaeosauridae is a family of small to medium-sized theropod dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. They are known for their distinctive features, including a large, curved claw on each foot, which likely helped them catch prey. Dromaeosaurids were agile and fast hunters, often depicted as pack hunters in popular media. Some of the most famous members of this family include Velociraptor and Deinonychus. Fossil evidence suggests that they had feathers, indicating a close relationship with modern birds. Dromaeosaurids played a significant role in their ecosystems, preying on smaller dinosaurs and other animals.
