Beyond the game
The real Deltadromeus
It was described in 1996 from an incomplete skeleton without a skull. Its relationships with other theropods and the assignment of certain remains remain controversial.
Its long, slender hind legs suggest an ability to run. The missing head limits important comparisons with other theropods, leaving its relationships and the identity of some assigned remains open to debate.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
