  Deinonychus – FREE Deinonychus Information | Encyclopedia.com: Facts, Pictures, Information!
Deinonychus [Gr.,=terrible claw], swift bipedal carnivorous dinosaur of the early Cretaceous period, approximately 119-93 million years ago.
The second toe of each three-toed foot was modified into a long sickle-shaped claw, and the hands, each finger of which also ended in a claw, were adapted to grabbing prey.
Deinonychus is thought to have been a very fast-moving predator.

 Deinonychus- Enchanted Learning Software
Among the contemporaries of Deinonychus were Spinosaurus, Archaeornithomimus (another swift, bird-like theropod), Sauroplites (an ankylosaurid, a plated herbivore), Sauropelta (a nodosaur, another armored herbivore), Probactrosaurus (an iguanodontid), Titanosaurs (a sauropod), and Tenontosaurus (a hypsilophodontid).
Deinonychus was a dromaeosaurid, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the highest among the dinosaurs.
Deinonychus was first found by Grant E. Meyer and John H. Ostrom in southern Montana (in the western United States) in 1964.

 American Museum of Natural History: Deinonychus
This is Deinonychus -- the only real fossil specimen of its kind on display anywhere in the world.
In the Museum, Deinonychus shares a case with three skeletal models of the first bird, whose name, Archaeopteryx, means "ancient wing." This is because parallels between the two have led to the conclusion that dinosaurs and birds are members of the same group and that, in fact, birds descended from a small dinosaur.
Deinonychus' sickle-shaped claws and sharp teeth are the tools of a formidable predator.

Deinonychus skelet viser et rovdyr, som sandsynligvis har levet et meget aktivt liv, og det har fået en del forskere til at mene, at Deinonychus har været varm-blodet og kunne styre krops-temperaturen på samme måde som fugle og pattedyr kan. Her venter vi stadig på "den store opdagelse".

 Natural History Magazine | Feature
Deinonychus, for all its adaptations for predation, stood maybe four feet high, was no more than ten feet long (the slender tail accounting for a substantial portion of that), and weighed 150 pounds at most.
The Deinonychus teeth were found in the region of the abdomen and pelvis, suggesting that the predators lost their teeth while feeding on the viscera.
The possibility that Deinonychus was replacing shed teeth in a few weeks or months, and therefore had the ability to sustain such dramatic tooth loss, was quashed by Greg Erickson, who, as a master's degree student at the Museum of the Rockies, worked on replacement rates of teeth in various dinosaurs and living reptiles.
