EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, the enigmatic figure of a Dromaeosaurus, affectionately known as the "fuzzy raptor," stands poised and alert. This animatronic model, meticulously crafted by Kokoro, a renowned Japanese company specializing in lifelike robots, is currently on display at the Natural History Museum. The Dromaeosaurus is a fascinating member of the Dromaeosauridae family, a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs, which also includes the Velociraptor. The Dromaeosaurus, a carnivorous dinosaur, was characterized by its small size, measuring around 2.8 meters in length, and its covering of branched feathers. These feathers, which were once thought to be unique to birds, have since been discovered on various theropod dinosaurs, challenging long-held assumptions about the evolutionary relationships between dinosaurs and birds. The Dromaeosaurus's powerful jaws, filled with sharp teeth, were well-suited to its predatory lifestyle. Its diet consisted mainly of smaller dinosaurs and possibly even some birds. This dinosaur's skeletal structure falls under the Archosauria, a diverse group of archosauromorph reptiles, characterized by their bipedal stance and a unique skull feature called the diapsid condition. The Dromaeosaurus's taxonomic classification includes the Diapsida, Dinosauromorpha, Archosauriformes, Archosauria, and Dinosauria. It is further classified as a Coelurosaur, Maniraptor, Coelurosauria, Dromaeosaur, Eudromaeosauria, Maniraptoriformes, and Maniraptora. This animatronic model, with its lifelike features and intricate details, offers visitors a unique opportunity to observe and appreciate the intricacies of this prehistoric hunter. Its presence in the museum serves as a reminder of the ongoing discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the fascinating world of dinosaurs.
