| Borogovia gracilicrus Osmolska, 1987 |
Borogovia was a theropod dinosaur which lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, in what is now Mongolia. The agile carnivorous troodontid takes its name from creatures known as 'borogoves' in the Lewis Carroll poem, Jabberwocky.
Known only by partial hind limbs, the Borogovia was 2 meters (6 feet) long and weighed 13 kilograms (27 pounds).
