Deinonychus (pronounced die-NON-ni-kus) was a killer dinosaur, a dromaeosaurid, from the Cretaceous period, about 119 to 93 million years ago. This intelligent, bipedal, meat-eater was about 10 feet (3 m) long, weighed up to 175 pounds (80 kg), and had a 5 inch (13 cm) long, retractible, sickle-shaped claw on each middle toe. Its femur (thigh bone) was 31 cm long. It may have weighed 110-165 pounds (50-75 kg). Fossils (8 skeletons) have been found in Montana, Utah, and Wyoming, USA. It was named by paleontologist J. Ostrom in 1969. The type species is D. antirrhopus.
