This light-weight dinosaur had long hind legs and a stiff tail. Troödon had large eyes and may have had a good sense of hearing. It had a large, sickle-shaped toe claw on its second toe, and smaller ones on the other. It had three long, clawed fingers that were ideal for grasping prey.

Troödon was a human-sized, fast, long-legged bipedal (walked on two legs) meat eater with serrated teeth and long, slim jaws. It may have been the smartest dinosaur, having the largest brain in proportion to its body weight (as smart as a modern bird). It was a theropod 6.5-11.5 ft (2-3.5 m) long, about 3 ft (1 m) tall at the hips; it may have weighed about 110 pounds (50 kg).
Troödon lived during the late Cretaceous period, about 76-70 million years ago.
