Borogovia was a small meat-eater from Asia that was very closely related to Troodon.
Like its North American cousin, Borogovia would have had a large brain and been a swift hunter. This theory is based mostly on what scientists know about Troodon, however, as only part of one of its legs and most of a foot have been found.
Discovered in 1971, Borogovia was originally described as a species of Saurornithoides, but later study placed it in the Troodon id family. It appears to have been a more gracile form based on how thin one of the toes appears. There also appears to be a minor pathology that indicates that the type specimen was injured. Like Troodon, Borogovia is categorized as a bird-like dinosaur and may have been feathered.
Borogovia was named after "Borogove", a creature from the Alice in Wonderland fairytale.
