The dromaeosaurids are a very popular group of dinosaurs that all share a few common features.‭ ‬These include reasonably lightweight build,‭ ‬long stiff tails for balance,‭ ‬legs and pelvis adapted for very fast running and a large sickle shaped claw on the second toe of each foot.‭ ‬Balaur however is a dromaeosaur with a difference‭; ‬instead of having one sickle shaped claw on each foot it had two.‭ ‬These claws were on the second and first toes,‭ ‬and seem to be the principal killing weapons since the hands are known to have one digit less than most other known dromaeosaurids. In popular fiction the large sickle claws are usually interpreted as slashing weapons that could open up the side of an animal in a single stroke,‭ ‬an idea based upon very early ideas about dinosaurs like Balaur.‭ ‬However more modern analysis has produced scenarios where the sickle claws are more suited to stabbing rather than slashing.‭ ‬Additionally they may have also been used for getting a grip onto similarly sized or larger prey,‭ ‬and in the case of Balaur,‭ ‬the two sickle claws may have been to compensate for a lack of one of the hand digits. Balaur has a number of other distinctive features that distinguish it from other dromaeosaurids,‭ ‬but overall it seems to have been more heavily built than its relatives.‭ ‬Palaeontologists are able to tell this because the bones,‭ ‬particularly those of the limbs,‭ ‬are shorter and more robust than in the closest relatives.‭ ‬This suggests that Balaur was built for power rather than high speed.‭ ‬It is curious that a dinosaur from a typically fast and lightweight family line would deviate so much from the others,‭ ‬but the reasons for why may be down to environmental factors from where it lived.
