Deinonychus
Click here for more Deinonychus Pictures
Deinonychus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived in North America during
the early Cretaceous period,
about 115 million years ago.
Deinonychus was about 11 feet (3.4 meters) long and weighed about
160 pounds (70 kilograms).
Deinonychus was a predator, and probably hunted in packs. Its most formidable
weapon was the curved claws on its hind feet - and it is from these claws that it
gets its name, which means "terrible claw".
Movie goers will remember that one of the main villains of the
Jurassic Park movies
are Velociraptors.
In the films, Velociraptor
is being depicted as being about as large a human, and
fossils of the animal
are shown being found in Montana
- in reality, Velociraptor
was actually quite a lot smaller than a human and was only found in Asia,
so what the film-makers appear to have done is "beef up"
Velociraptor
by adding some characteristics of Deinonychus (which did live in North America and was larger than
Velociraptor).
While we can't be sure that is explanation is correct, it does make sense
because in the Jurassic Park novel,
a character states that
Deinonychus is considered to be one of the
Velociraptors
(in reality, Deinonychus is closely related to
Velociraptors, but is still
considered to be a separate Genus).
Like Velociraptors,
Deinonychus is now
believed to have been
covered in feathers, and had a warm-blooded bird-like metabolism.
However, although often thought of as a fast-runner,
the bones of the leg tend to such Deinonychus may not have been one.

 | | Product Description:
Este libro contiene las trilogía completa de las novelas de Sara, la joven científico que es transportada por accidente al Cretácico, allí es presa fácil para los depredadores, pero su piel suave e inteligencia la hacen atractiva no sólo como comida, sino como hembra. Sara será encontrada por una manada de deinonychus y el macho dominante ha decidido que quiere que sea la madre de sus crías. Todos los machos e incluso las hembras de la manada, se la disputarán.
Un fragmento de la tercera parte:
El sol del Cretácico había bronceado la piel de Sara que apenas cubría unos jirones de piel de iguanodon. Sentía esta piel sobre la suya y su tacto le recordaba el roce de los dinosaurios que la habían hecho suya. No pudo evitar estremecerse cuando recordó a Cresta Roja, el gran macho deinonychus que era el líder de la manada. Por ella había expulsado a las demás hembras de su nido y cada atardecer, al regresar de la caza tomaba a Sara y la obligaba a que se tendiera sobre sus manos y rodillas para montarla. El sexo de Sara empezó a humedecerse y y las gotas de su flujo hicieron que sus piernas se volvieran resbaladizas mientras caminaba. Temblaba de deseo al recordar al enorme pene de Cresta Roja dentro de sí, este estaba siempre lubricado y penetró a mayor profundidad que la que hubiera alcanzado el mayor pene humano.

Gregory Heck returns for his most dangerous mission yet. A top secret meeting at the Pentagon with all the heads of state reveal that an asset, thought to be erased, has resurfaced. The asset, an assassin, is killing off links to a shady genetics organization once known as Genestein. It was an organization funded illegally through NATO to become the sharp poisonous stick against the communist red. This person holds many dirty secrets of the western world, and has performed their cutthroat deeds for the last thirty years. With knowledge that can burn powerful government officials to the ground, and potentially start a third world war, this man must be found and stopped at all costs. It’s Gregory Heck’s job to bring him in. However, the mystery surrounding the asset grows while Greg’s doubts about the reasoning behind the hunt increases. Truth and lies twist together in this trust-no-one scenario. Greg finds himself pitted against a man spawned from hate, and involvement in a world where right and wrong become vague points of view. Will Greg’s Aikido training and determination be enough to pull him through, or has his number finally been called? |
