The Real Deinonychus
("Terrible claw"). How do dinosaur experts love Deinonychus? Let me count the ways. First of all, it was one of the most fascinatingly designed of all dinosaurs. This 10-foot (3 meter) meat-eater was fearsomely equipped for hunting other dinosaurs: powerful hind legs, strong arms tipped with sharp claws, a stiffened tail that it used for balance, and - most impressive of all - a special 5-inch (13-centimeter), scythelike claw sprouting from each foot. With these weapons, scientists believe, a group of Deinonychus might have chased down even very large dinosaurs, then swung back on one leg and disemboweled the poor victim with their switchblades. This advanced, active hunting technique gives rise to the second reason that Deinonychus is so beloved: No dinosaur has created more controversy, and scientists love controversy. Robert Bakker and others believed that Deinonychus must have been warm-blooded, that no cold-blooded dinosaur could possibly have evolved such an energetic hunting style. Many others disagree, and the debate shows no real sign of going away.
