About Deinonychus
Deinonychus, meaning 'Terrible Claw', was a small, speedy, agile, feathered, fierce, and cunning dinosaur that lived 115-108 million years ago. With a length of 3.4 meters and a hip height of 0.87 meters, it weighed between 60-73 kg. It had seventy curved, blade-like teeth, a narrow snout, and large 'hands' with three claws on each forelimb. Its hind foot bore a sickle-shaped claw, likely used during predation.
