Dromaeosauridae (/ ˌ d r ɒ m i. ə ˈ s ɔːr ɪ d iː /) is a family of feathered coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs. They were generally small to medium-sized feathered carnivores that flourished in the Cretaceous Period .
Deinonychosaurian theropods, especially members of the family Dromaeosauridae, are known for their recurved, sickle-shaped claw on the second toe being held off the ground, and thus not preserved in the trackway. This causes their footprints to preserve only two of their toes, making the deinonychosaurian tracks functionally didactyl (two-toed).
Dromaeosaurus is the type genus of both Dromaeosauridae and Dromaeosaurinae, which include many genera with similar characteristics to Dromaeosaurus such as possibly its closest relative Dakotaraptor. Dromaeosaurus was heavily built, more so than other dromaeosaurs that are similar in size, like Velociraptor.

Dromaeosauridae dispersed to Asia and Africa, [7] likely made possible by the Apulian Route connecting Eurasia and Africa, [35] and the Bering Land Bridge linking North America and Asia. [18] The Apulian Route was established in early Late Jurassic and broke off towards the end of Jurassic. [ 35 ]
Dromaeosauroides is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of what is now Denmark and possibly also England.It was discovered in the Jydegaard Formation in the Robbedale valley, on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.
Unenlagia (meaning "half-bird" in Latinized Mapudungun) is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in South America during the Late Cretaceous period. [1] The genus Unenlagia has been assigned two species: U. comahuensis, the type species described by Novas and Puerta in 1997, [1] and U. paynemili, described by Calvo et al. in 2004.
Halszkaraptor was placed in the Dromaeosauridae in 2017. A new clade Halszkaraptorinae was coined, containing Halszkaraptor and its close relatives Hulsanpes and Mahakala. The cladogram below is based on the phylogenetic analysis conducted in 2017 by Cau et al. using updated data from the Theropod Working Group. The analysis showed that ...
