Unenlagiinae

† Unenlagiinae is the subfamily within dromaeosaurid theropods encompassing the southern hemisphere long-armed forms. Documented from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina, these specialized paravians bridge the morphological gap between true dromaeosaurids and avialans.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Unenlagiinae 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 Late Mesozoic Era

Unenlagiinae lived during the Cretaceous Late period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 100.5 to 66.0 million years ago.

The final age of dinosaurs, featuring iconic species like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor. Dinosaurs reached their peak diversity before the catastrophic asteroid impact at the Chicxulub crater ended the Mesozoic Era.
