The Bambiraptor is a small carnivorous dinosaur that lived in North America during the late Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era. Its scientific name comes from the holotype specimen of a juvenile Bambiraptor, which measured a mere 90 cm in length. Despite many bird-like characteristics, Bambiraptor lived approximately 80 million years after birds had branched off from dinosaurs. Although Velociraptors such as the Bambiraptor continued to evolve, they never evolved into birds.
