Pyroraptor was a small, fast meat-eater that lived in what is now France and Spain. Its name means 'fire thief' because its bones were found after a big forest fire. Scientists think it looked a lot like Velociraptor.1

1

Pyroraptor lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 84 to 71 million years ago.1

2

Only a handful of small bones and teeth have been found, so scientists have to guess what the whole animal looked like.1

3

Pyroraptor was a dromaeosaur, a group of feathered dinosaurs that includes Velociraptor.13

4

Another European dromaeosaur called Variraptor was found in the same place in France. Some experts think they might be the same dinosaur.1

5

Pyroraptor probably went extinct before the big meteorite hit Earth 66 million years ago.1
