Dromatherium was a small arboreal mammal that inhabited North America during the Late Triassic period, approximately 225-201 million years ago.

As a member of the family Dromatheriidae, Dromatherium was characterized by its agile, squirrel-like build and a long, bushy tail.

Dromatherium possessed a specialized ear structure, known as a zygomatic arch, which allowed it to hear high-frequency sounds, enhancing its ability to detect predators and prey.

With its sharp claws and keen sense of smell, Dromatherium was an adept climber and hunter, preying on small insects, lizards, and other invertebrates.
