Deinonychus
By: Kriket Little

Deinonychus was a carnivorous, bipedal dinosaur that hunted in packs of about six individuals and slashed at its prey with its sickle-shaped claw located on the second toe of the hind foot. Deinonychus lived during the Early Cretaceous, in North America, in the regions now known as Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Maryland.
