Deinonychus

__Deinonychus__



Joris V.    The Deinonychus was a ten foot long feathered dinosaur! That is weird. His name means “terrible claw” because he had two curved claws on both feet. It also had sixty curved knife-like teeth that it used to slice its food. It was a carnivore so it ate large plant-eating  dinosaurs. This dinosaur was about five feet tall and weighed about one hundred sixty-five pounds! They hunted in packs to catch their food. They were also fast runners. This dinosaur jumped on the back of dinosaurs to get its food. The Deinonychus had a large brain for a dinosaur. Deinonychus fossils have been found in Wyoming, Montana, and North America.
