Dinosaur of the day Deinonychus (revisited), a dinosaur famous for its sickle-claws and eating the hadrosaur Tenontosaurus.

Some highlights about dromaeosaurs:

  • Dromaeosaurs have many bird like features in their shoulders, wrists, and feathers
  • Both with modern raptors (birds of prey) and dromaeosaurs the foot is the deadly weapon
  • Utahraptor was discovered around the time the movie Jurassic Park came out, more recently a new huge block of Utahraptors was found
  • Paleontologist Bob Bakker tells a compelling story of a Utahraptor through her eyes in his novel Raptor Red
  • Paleontologist John Ostrom named Deinonychus in 1969 (which also has ties to Jurassic Park)
  • "The first definitive dromaeosaur with a reasonably complete skeleton ever found in the US" is nicknamed "Julietraptor"
