Perhaps one of the greatest hunters of the cretaceous era, the Deinonychus was a pack hunter that could be equated with present day wolves. It is believed that that an alpha or alpha pair leads a group of 3-10, in some occasions potentially more, in a constant journey through their territory seeking prey animals, shelter and nesting grounds. We have observed these activities in several of our specimens.

Related to the Velociraptor, Deinonychus Antirrhopus was commonly known as Velociraptor Antirrhopus by some until the late 1980s when it was determined through our research that the species was unique from other members of that genus.

Deinonychus means “Terrible Claw,” the main feature you will have to watch for when interacting with these creatures, and Antirrhopus means “Counterbalance” in reference to the fact that this species has a stiff tail allowing it to balance on one foot during attacks. Although our dinosaurs are Novprogenis (“new breed”), they are bred from nearly complete gene sequences gathered from d. Antirrhopus and retain that species size and 30-40mph running speed.

As with other Dromaeosaurs, these creatures have a large sickle claw that can snap into and hold onto prey quickly, a strong tail for balance, and underdeveloped wing like feathers on their forearms for stabilization during feeding, fighting and running.

note: You may be familiar with the appearance of these creatures thanks to depictions in media of our competitor InGen’s v.Nublarensis and v.Sornaensis which are similar in size due to some shared genotype material.
