Deinonychus had a huge, curved claw on the second toe of each foot. That claw was about 13 centimetres (5 inches) long and was probably used like a slashing weapon.2

Its tail was stiffened by long bony rods, which helped it balance perfectly when it ran or attacked.2 1

Deinonychus had very flexible wrists, so it could grab and hold prey with its long, clawed hands.1

The name 'Deinonychus' means 'terrible claw', because of that huge foot claw.1

Deinonychus lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 145 to 100 million years ago.2

Deinonychus was the model for the 'raptor' dinosaurs in the movie Jurassic Park.2
