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"
