A deinonychus is a bipedal, medium-sized dinosaur that often hunts in packs of up to 12. They are lean and muscular, having strong legs and a long tail for Balance. Some have brightly colored scaled skin, while most other other have colorful thatches of feathers, in despite being a comparatively small dinosaur is known for its ferocity.123
A deinonychus is around 6 feet tall and seven feet long, and weighs 150 pounds.3
They 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 instead use their dexterous smaller front claws to pull away barriers.3
Several closely related types of dinosaurs, such as the smaller velociraptor and the larger megaraptor, are known as dromaeosaurs.12 Velociraptors and deinonychuses are distantly related to birds, and like them they collect shiny treasure for their nests.45 They are also known to be great trackers when tamed or domesticated.6
