Dromaeosauripus hamanensis

†Dromaeosauripus hamanensis is a dromaeosaurid ichnospecies from the Haman Formation of South Korea, Early Cretaceous. The elevated sickle-claw impressions in its tridactyl tracks confirm dromaeosaurid identity. These tracks are part of an exceptionally rich Korean Early Cretaceous ichnofauna that documents diverse theropod communities in East Asia.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Dromaeosauripus hamanensis was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Dromaeosauripus hamanensis lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145,0 to 100,5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
