Microraptor (name meaning ''Small Thief'') is a genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaur that originated during the Early Cretaceous period in what is now Asia. Measuring less than a meter in length and among the smallest dinosaurs ever discovered, this four-winged dinosaur fed on insects and other small creatures. Numerous well-preserved fossil specimens have been recovered from Liaoning, China.
One of the primary creatures needed for the park, in the Series 2 episode "Dinobirds," a colony of ten Microraptors were brought to the park from Early Cretaceous China, 125 million years ago. Due to their small size they are one of a few animals allowed to roam freely.
