Albertavenator
Albertavenator was a small, fast, bird-like dinosaur that lived in Canada about 71 million years ago. It had a short, wide skull bone that made it different from other smart raptors. Scientists think it ate meat and maybe plants too.12

Prettige feite
Albertavenator is known only from a few skull bones, especially the frontal bone of the forehead.1
Its frontal bone is very short and wide, with a length-to-width ratio less than 1.3, shorter than any other known troodontid from the Late Cretaceous.12
The name Albertavenator means 'Alberta hunter' and honors paleontologist Philip J. Currie.1
It lived during the early Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous, about 71 million years ago.1
Its fossils were found in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, which was a cool, swampy floodplain with redwoods and ferns.1
Albertavenator was a troodontid, a group of smart, bird-like raptors that had large brains and sharp claws.1
