In the midst of the southern deltas of North America there lives one of the most cunning of the non-avian dinosaur hunters. A species of troodontid, descended from Troodon and related to Saurornithoides, the springe, measuring about 3 meters (10 feet) long, has a similar size and proportion to its ancestors. Its head, however, has expanded and now contains a larger brain, and the killing claw is carried on a particularly long second toe. With its naked skin mottled a deathly white and pink, and the matted, dark patterned feathers, the springe has a derelict, morbid appearance.
