Deinonychus antirrhopus

Deinonychus is a relatively well-known theropod, whose remains have been found in north american sites. It was a very close relative of the famous velociraptor, but something like twice bigger than its asian correspondent. The "Raptors" from Jurassic Park\Jurassic World are inspired from Deinonychus too, despite the lack of feathers.

The new base-file update was made because of some improvements for an infographic included in a themed article, published last September on an excellent italian paleontological blog, "Café paleontologico". Here you can see the full article: cafepaleontologico.wixsite.com…
