Hesperonychus is one of the smallest raptor type dinosaurs. This velociraptor of small size did not chase the same prey as these big cousins. Smaller than a cat, Hesperonychus had to be satisfied with insects but also small mammals like Alphadon. Indeed, despite his small size, Hesperonychus also possessed sharp claws like razors and a sickle-shaped claw on his second toe.
