About Deinonychus
Deinonychus is a dinosaur which lived about 115 million years ago
during the Cretaceous Period. It was first discovered in 1931 near the
town of Billings, Montana by Barnum Brown. Since then, fossils have been
found in parts of Wyoming and Oklahoma as well. It’s name translates to
“terrible claw”. A reference to the large claw that is on the back of this
dinosaur’s hind foot.
When Deinonychus lived, it could reach a hip height of 3 feet, a
length of 12 feet and a weight of approximately 150-160 pounds. The
similarity of this dinosaur to a modern bird caused scientists to develop
the theory that birds are indeed descendants of dinosaurs. A theory that
was first postulated during the late 1960s.
It is believed by some scientists that these dinosaurs actually did
have feathers like modern birds. Although there is no solid proof that
Deinonychus had feathers, the finding of Velociraptor feathers may be
enough proof to postulate that these dinosaurs also had feathers.
What is known about these dinosaurs however, is they had all the
tools they needed to be aggressive predators. Not only did they have a
bite force which was probably a little less than a modern crocodile, but
they also had those formidable razor sharp claws on their hind feet. More
than likely, these claws were used to inflict deep stab wounds on its
prey.
An interesting thing to not about these dinosaurs is that they
resemble the Velociraptors in the movie Jurassic Park more than real
Velociraptors did. In real life, Velociraptors were turkey sized
dinosaurs. However, in the movie they are portrayed more like the size and
speed of Deinonychus. In fact, the special effects team of the movie has
admitted they modeled their dinosaurs after Deinonychus.
Some scientists have postulated that these dinosaurs probably preyed
on Tenontosaurus as a food source. If that is the case, then that brings
up some interesting scenarios. For instance, Tenontosaurus weighed over 2
tons, and this dinosaur only weighed 160 pounds. Which means, that if they
did indeed hunt these animals, then they would have had to have done it in
packs.
