let's go, DROMAEOSAURIDAE!?!

Dromaeosauridae is a family of feathered theropod dinosaurs. They were generally small- to medium-sized feathered carnivores that flourished in the Cretaceous Period. The name Dromaeosauridae means 'running lizards', from Greek δρομεῦς meaning 'runner' and σαῦρος meaning 'lizard'. In informal usage they are often called raptors, a term popularized by the film Jurassic Park; a few types include the term "raptor" directly in their name and have come to emphasize their bird-like appearance and speculated bird-like behavior.
