    I've always thought that a dromaeosaurid, being essentially a casowary with a monitor lizard's head, is such an amazing animal that it can't possibly be improved. I was wrong.

      there's some good evidence that they flapped their wing-arms either to help pounce on prey or to help them balance while dispatching/feeding on prey

      there's even a fairly convincing argument that dromaeosaurs actually evolved from a flying ancestor and not the other way around
