Dromoka

Dromoka is a genus of small to medium-sized dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago. The genus is known from a single species, Dromoka agilis, which was discovered in the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia. Dromoka is notable for its unique combination of features, including a long, slender snout, small teeth, and a relatively small size compared to other theropod dinosaurs.

The name Dromoka is derived from the Greek words "dromos," meaning "race," and "ka," meaning "to go," reflecting the dinosaur's agile and swift nature. This name was chosen to highlight the animal's likely fast running and hunting abilities, despite its small size.

Dromoka agilis was a bipedal predator, with a body length estimated to be around 3 meters (10 feet). It had a long, slender snout filled with small, sharp teeth, which suggests that it may have fed on small animals or even insects. The dinosaur's small size and agile build indicate that it was likely a fast runner and a skilled hunter.

The discovery of Dromoka has provided valuable insights into the diversity of Late Cretaceous theropod dinosaurs and their adaptations to different ecological niches. Its unique combination of features sets it apart from other known theropods, making it an important addition to our understanding of dinosaur evolution and diversity.
