Description

Deinonychus restoration,

• Based proportionally on Gregory Pauls skeletal and skull drawings in 'Dinosaurs of the Air' by Gregory S. Paul, 2002, The Johns Hopkins University Press.
• Feathers are not yet known for Deinonychus however all maniraptorans with skin impressions show feathers. The specific details of the feathers in this image are speculative but based on other maniraptorans. Most of which show feathers covering the body and remiges on the arms. Velociraptor, a close relative of Deinonychus has quill knobs on its ulna, which show that it has secondaries. Feathers on the legs are known in the dromaeosaur Microraptor, the troodont Anchiornis and the avialan Archaeopteryx .
• The colours and/or patterns, as with nearly all reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.
