An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Balaur Bondoc was raptor that lived in Romania 70 million years ago. What made this raptor stand out among a ll raptors, is that it had two sickle claws on each foot - the first claw was also enlarged to a similar size as the second. Another thing that makes it different is that, like T-Rex, it had only two functional fingers, while all other known raptors have three. Even so, it would have been apex predator on its island, as at the time, Romania was split into an archipelago of small islands. No larger teeth have ever been recovered from Romania.

  • Balaur Bondoc was raptor that lived in Romania 70 million years ago. What made this raptor stand out among a ll raptors, is that it had two sickle claws on each foot - the first claw was also enlarged to a similar size as the second. Another thing that makes it different is that, like T-Rex, it had only two functional fingers, while all other known raptors have three. Even so, it would have been apex predator on its island, as at the time, Romania was split into an archipelago of small islands. No larger teeth have ever been recovered from Romania. File:Ankylosaurus.jpg It is argued that the reason for Balaur Bondoc's strange features is the fact that dinosaur life on its island evolved differently to the rest of the world. This happens because if you are on an island, you are not affected by the outside world, and evolution can take a totally different course to that of the rest of the world.
