Shuvuuias on the Hunt

As the sun sets over the desert rocks 75 million years ago in what is now the Djadochta Formation of Mongolia, a Shuvuuia deserti, one of the top nocturnal hunters of the area besides the larger Velociraptor, uses one of its large, talon-like claws to rip through a log that is home to a colony of juicy termites while another one heads out to track down any small arthropods, lizards or mammals that are scurrying about the bushes and shrubs…

Random fact: before I fell in obsession with R.E.P.O., I loved drawing dinosaurs!

Meet the shuvuuia!

Shuvuuia

Shuvuuia is one of the smallest known non-avian dinosaurs, at 1 m in length and weighing about 3.5 kg. It had long legs for running, and short powerful arms with a large claw on each hand. These unique arms were adapted for digging and tearing, suggesting that Shuvuuia fed on colonial insects like termites.
