The resemblance to eudromaeosaurs from North America ...
Whoopi Goldberg and “The View” co-hosts came to Travis Kelce’s defense ahead of Super Bowl LIX, where the Kansas City Chiefs tight end will be facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The snout was narrow in front view, becoming narrower towards the rounded top. The premaxilla (front bone of the upper jaw) was long and low when seen from the side, bulbous at the front, and its outer surface became less convex from snout to naris (bony nostril).
