We were driving in the car yesterday and Desmond told Matt that he was a deinonychus. Matt said it would be hard to drive with the toe claw. The toe claw would probably make a hole in the car.
Des said "Daddy, you just lift the toe claw up."
Of course.
Deinonychus means "terrible claw", but this claw may not have been so terrible.
Scientists used to think that the deinonychus used its toe claw to rip open its prey, thinking that the claw was sharp enough to slash through skin. They have done tests and now think that the toe claw was used to stab and puncture. Their teeth was probably what killed their prey.
Deinonychus did lift the large toe claw up when it walked.
