Dromaeosaurus albertensis
Named by Barnum Brown and William Diller Matthew, 1922
Diet: Carnivore (Prey included small animals such as small mammals and small dinosaurs, as well as young dinosaurs such as the hadrosaurs and ceratopsians it lived in; it was also an opportunistic scavenger)
Type: Dromaeosaurid (Dromaeosaurine) theropod dinosaur.
Size: 6.6 feet (2 meters) long and 33 lb.
Region: North America (Alberta Canada and Montana USA) (Note: Fragmentary remains such as teeth that may belong to this genus or species was found as far north as the North Slope of Alaska)
Age: Late Cretaceous (76.5 to 74.8 million BC; Middle Campanian)
Enemies/Rivals: Other maniraptors such as Saurornitholestes (another dromaeosaurid), Latenivenatrix (a troodontid) and Stenonychosaurus (a troodontid); tyrannosaurids Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus, especially the juveniles; venomous varanid lizard Palaeosaniwa; crocodilians such as Leidyosuchus.
Episode: Sea Monsters-The Most Dangerous Sea Ever (appeared only in the companion book, Sea Monsters: Prehistoric Predators of the Deep, but absent in the actual series, although it was mentioned as “raptors”)
Info: Despite that it is the first dromaeosaur (or “raptor”) ever found by Barnum Brown in 1914 along the Red Deer River in Alberta Canada and are shown in cast replicas in museums, this dinosaur is not very well-known due to the poor fossil remains, while it was the discovery of Deinonychus by John H. Ostrom in the 1960’s that show what the dromaesaurs were really like and how they behaved. It differs from other dromaeosaurs in having a short, massive skull, a deep mandible, robust teeth and jaws that, as evidence of its teeth heavily worn shown, were used for crushing and tearing rather than simply slicing through flesh, while it is estimated that the bite of Dromaeosaurus was powerful (three times as powerful as Velociraptor’s) and suggested that it relied on its jaws than its sickle toe claw to kill its prey.
Note: Appearance and pose based on the skeletal replica of Dromaeosaurus from the Royal Tyrell Muesum, Albeta Canada, but updated it and coloration based on the bald eagle.
I know this animal appeared in the final episode of the original Walking with Dinosaurs series, Death of a Dynasty (shown above), but I changed it to Dakotaraptor due to its size and physical appearance (its actually a re-used model of the Utahraptor that appeared in the series, but with a different coloration) as well as the fact that Dromaeosaurus disappeared millions of years before the age and setting of the episode (Hell Creek Formation, Montana and Dakotas, 66 million BC). So this actually Dromaeosaurus that appeared in the companion book of Sea Monsters (though no picture of it shown), which while it never appeared in Sea Monsters, it is stated in the second page of the Cretaceous chapter, 'North America is a great place to find some of the best-known of them (dinosaurs): the duckbills, the raptors, the armoured ankylosaurs, and good old tyrannosaurus rex. It's quite possible to see them wandering down the beach, but a certain times of year a far more likely sight is gathering of big ugly birds (Hesperornis). While no dromaeosaurs were found in Kansas dating back to the Santonian and Campanian age, I choose Dromaeosaurus to be the 'raptor', especially the fact that it was alive 75 million BC in the Campanian age.
Also I made a different coloration to avoid confusion with the Dakotaraptor I already did.

Awesome! I think they actually found out that the Hell Creek Dromaeosaurus was in fact Archeroraptor, I'm not sure. I'll have to check.
You should do the Didelphodon. And how close are we to T. rex?
He only has Corythosaurus, Maiasaura, Pachycephalosaurus, Pentaceratops, Stegoceras, Styracosaurus, Alexornis, Alphadon, Chirostenotes, Edmontonia, Parksosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus(1999 WWD), Anatotitan(1999 WWD), Ankylosaurus, Didelphodon, Dinilysia, Quetzalcoatlus(1999 WWD), Thescelosaurus, Torosaurus, Triceratops(But not a carcass) and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Cool, I honestly wasnt expexting to see Dromeosaurs itself, and Im loving the new look you gave it!

Yeah. Just Curious. What animal will you do first for Walking With Beasts?
Okay. But wasn't Leptictidium the first to be shown? Then Gastornis.

Although it's by far the best known, Triceratops was far from the only ceratopsian (horned, frilled dinosaur) of the Mesozoic Era. in fact, more ceratopsians have been discovered in North America over the past 20 years than any other type of dinosaur. Below you'll find 10 ceratopsians that were every bit the equal of Triceratops, either in size, in ornamentation, or as subjects for research by paleontologists.
Aquilops
Ceratopsians—horned, frilled dinosaurs— originated in early Cretaceous Asia, where they were about the size of house cats, and evolved to plus sizes only after they settled in North America, tens of millions of years later. The importance of the newly discovered, two-foot-long Aquilops ('eagle face') is that it lived in middle Cretaceous North America and thus represents an important link between early and late ceratopsian species.
Centrosaurus
Centrosaurus is the classic example of what paleontologists refer to as 'centrosaurine' ceratopsians, that is, plant-eating dinosaurs possessing large nasal horns and relatively short frills. This 20-foot-long, three-ton herbivore lived a few million years before Triceratops, and it was closely related to three other ceratopsians, Styracosaurus, Coronosaurus, and Spinops. Centrosaurus is represented by literally thousands of fossils, unearthed from massive 'bonebeds' in Canada's Alberta province.
Koreaceratops
Discovered on the Korean peninsula, Koreaceratops has been described by some paleontologists as the world's first identified swimming dinosaur. This description relates to the dinosaur's 'neural spines' jutting up from its tail, which would have helped propel this 25-pound ceratopsian through the water. Recently, though, much more compelling evidence has been adduced for another swimming dinosaur, the much bigger (and much fiercer) Spinosaurus.
Kosmoceratops
The name Kosmoceratops is Greek for 'ornate horned face,' and that's a fitting description of this ceratopsian. Kosmoceratops was equipped with such evolutionary bells and whistles as a downward-folding frill and no fewer than 15 horns and horn-like structures of various shapes and sizes. This dinosaur evolved on Laramidia, a large island of western North America that was cut off from the mainstream of ceratopsian evolution during the late Cretaceous period. Such isolation can often explain unusual evolutionary variations.
Pachyrhinosaurus
You might recognize Pachyrhinosaurus (the 'thick-nosed lizard') as the star of the late, unlamented Walking with Dinosaurs: The 3D Movie. Pachyrhinosaurus was one of the few late Cretaceous ceratopsians to lack a horn on its snout; all it had were two small, ornamental horns on either side of its enormous frill.
Pentaceratops
This 'five-horned face' really had only three horns, and the third horn (on the end of its snout) wasn't much to write home about. Pentaceratops' real claim to fame is that it possessed one of the largest heads of the entire Mesozoic Era: a whopping 10 feet long, from the top of its frill to the tip of its nose. That makes Pentaceratops' head even longer than that of the closely related Triceratops and presumably just as deadly when wielded in combat.
Protoceratops
Walking With Dinosaurs Fact Files
Digital mixer for sale. Protoceratops was that rare beast of the Mesozoic Era, a mid-sized ceratopsian—not tiny like its predecessors (such as the five-pound Aquilops), or four or five tons like its North American successors, but a pig-sized 400 or 500 pounds. As such, this made the central Asian Protoceratops an ideal prey animal for the contemporary Velociraptor. In fact, paleontologists have identified a famous fossil of a Velociraptor locked in combat with a Protoceratops, before both dinosaurs were buried by a sudden sandstorm.
Psittacosaurus
For decades, Psittacosaurus (the 'parrot lizard') was one of the earliest identified ceratopsians, until the recent discovery of a handful of eastern Asian genera that predated this dinosaur by millions of years. As befitting a ceratopsian that lived during the early to middle Cretaceous period, Psittacosaurus lacked any significant horn or frill, to the extent that it took a while for paleontologists to identify it as a true ceratopsian and not an ornithischian dinosaur.

Raptor Dinosaur
Styracosaurus
Closely related to Centrosaurus, Styracosaurus had one of the most distinctive heads of any ceratopsian, at least until the recent discovery of bizarre North American genera like Kosmoceratops and Mojoceratops. As with all ceratopsians, the horns and frill of Styracosaurus likely evolved as sexually selected characteristics: males with bigger, more elaborate, more visible headgear had a better chance of intimidating their rivals in the herd and attracting available females during mating season.
Udanoceratops
Walking With Dinosaurs Velociraptor
The central Asian Udanoceratops was a one-ton contemporary of Protoceratops (meaning it was likely immune from the Velociraptor attacks that plagued its more famous relative). The oddest thing about this dinosaur, though, is that it may have walked occasionally on two legs, like the smaller ceratopsians that preceded it by millions of years.
