The nickname given to the Bambiraptor (pronounced BAM-be-RAP-tor), a small
predatory dinosaur whose
fossil remains were found in
Montana in the year 2000. Bambi, a
meat-eater, was originally thought to be a
juvenile Velociraptor because of the presence of a
sickle-shaped
claw on the second
toe of its foot. This tiny dinosaur was only 3 feet (1 m) long and is thought to have weighed about 7 pounds (3 kg).
Species:
Bambiraptor feinbergi
