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.

This book contains the complete trilogy of the novels of Sara, the young scientist who is transported by accident to the Cretaceous, there is easy prey for predators, but her soft skin and intelligence make her attractive not only as a food, but as a female. Sara will be found by a herd of deinonychus and the dominant male has decided he wants her to be the mother of their offspring. All the males and even the females of the herd will dispute it .---------------------- A fragment of the third part: The sun of the Cretaceous had tanned Sara's skin that barely covered a few shreds of iguanodon skin. He felt this skin on his and his touch reminded him of the touch of the dinosaurs that had made her his. He could not help but shudder when he remembered Red-crest, the great deinonychus male who was the leader of the pack. For it had expelled the other females of his nest and each evening, when returning of the hunting it took to Sara and it forced it to lie down on its hands and knees to mount it. Sara's sex started to get wet and the drops of her flow made her legs slippery as she walked. He trembled with desire as he remembered the huge Red Crescent penis within himself, it was always lubricated and penetrated deeper than the one that had reached the largest human penis.Enviar comentarios |

Dinosaurs were amazing creatures. From the time the first dinosaur bones were unearthed, the story of these unusual animals has captivated both the young and old. We continue to learn more about them from the fossil record, but there are still many questions: - How do dinosaurs fit with the Bible?
- Are they really millions of years old?
- Did they live at the same time as humans?
- Were there dinosaurs on Noah's Ark?
- How did they go extinct?
Guide to Dinosaurs is a fascinating and lavishly illustrated volume that takes a careful look at the evidence and how it fits with the historic accounts given in Scripture. |

Please note, some base tabs on the miniature may not fit perfectly to the base. To resolve this, you can simply bend the base tab into a shallow "V" so it touches each side of the base slot. Then drip a small amount of superglue onto each point that the tab contacts to the base. To cover the open areas of the base slot, you can glue in small pieces of construction paper over them. To give the base a more natural look, you can spread craft glue over the whole base and dip in in some dirt or sand from your yard for a gravel texture. |
