Troodons may have been the dinosaur that could survive in various environment. The ratio of its braincase was larger than the ratio of its body. Troodons may had a feathered bird-like appearance. Their second toe claw claims they a relative the dromaeosaurids ( raptors ). The claws may have been used the same way, but Troodons have another excess in their hunting, great eyesight. It is thought that Troodons have the ability to hunt using night vision. Based on discoveries, Troodons had large eye sockets. Troodon means "wounding tooth". By their name they didn't had powerful jaws for biting. They used speed rather than strength. Troodons were so smart, they may had lived in packs, like wolves today. By the earlier statement, Troodons could thrive in various habitats, this is because it might prevent itself from hazards during its time, volcanic activities, giant predators, like the tyrannosaurs or because of some habitat destruction. But a large subspecies of Troodon thrived itself in the Arctic areas. This shows that Troodons can thrive in various environments. For references go to BBC- Planet Dinosaur Episode 3: Last Killers. It is thought that Troodons might have survived from the epic meteor disaster, 65 million years before Christ ( B.C ). Eventhough it might have survived the tragedy, their food supply was decreasing. For references go to Dinosaur Revolution Episode 4 : End Game.
