Deinonychus
A deinonychus is a bipedal, medium-sized dinosaur that often hunts in packs of up to a dozen. They are athletic creatures, having strong legs and a long tail for balance. Some have brightly colored scaled skin, while most others have colorful feathers. Despite being a comparatively small dinosaur, it is known for its ferocity.1234
A deinonychus is around six feet tall and weighs 150 pounds.34
Deinonychuses move faster than tigers, and are every bit as adept at pouncing on their prey. In a fight, they are agile enough to use their powerful hind claws as well as their strong sharp teeth.1 They can use their nimble, smaller front claws for more precise manipulation.34
Variants
Several closely related types of dinosaurs, such as the smaller velociraptors and the larger megaraptors, are known as dromaeosaurs.12 Velociraptors and deinonychuses are distantly related to birds and, like them, they collect shiny treasure for their nests.54 They are also known to be great trackers when tamed or domesticated.67
