On a slightly unrelated note, did raptors use their hands much or just their feet? Curious if Deinonychus was jumping on Tentonosaurus heads and scratching them or just using their hands.

"Deinonychus leapt onto its target and pinned it down with its full body weight. The large sickle-shaped claws dug into its victim, gripping tightly to prevent it from escaping. Then, Deinonychus leant down and tore into it with its jaws." They may have had strong jaws to deliver fatal skull bites like jaguars. -How the hell this thing was supposedly going after Tenontosaurus is beyond me. Possibly it was leaping onto their backs like lions sometimes do. |

Possibly it was leaping onto their backs like lions sometimes do. Must've been really agile then. If it leapt onto its back it would have to climb up onto its head like walking the plank. Odd. Regarding the speed of Deinonychus (I can't find a lot of information on agility). "'-However, when first described, a complete leg of Deinonychus had not been found, and Ostrom's speculation about the length of the femur (upper leg bone) later proved to have been an overestimate. In a later study, Ostrom noted that the ratio of the femur to the tibia (lower leg bone) is not as important in determining speed as the relative length of the foot and lower leg. In modern fleet-footed birds, like the ostrich, the foot-tibia ratio is .95. In unusually fast-running dinosaurs, like Struthiomimus, the ratio is .68, but in Deinonychus the ratio is .48. Ostrom stated that the "only reasonable conclusion" is that Deinonychus, while far from slow-moving, was not particularly fast compared to other dinosaurs, and certainly not as fast as modern flightless birds." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinonychus#cite_note-ostrom1976-13I estimate that Deinonychus could only run up to a speed of around 25 mph max. Which isn't incredible imo... |
