Dinosaur of the day Deinonychus (revisited), a dinosaur famous for its sickle-claws and eating the hadrosaur Tenontosaurus.

Some highlights about dromaeosaurs:

Dromaeosaurs have many bird like features in their shoulders, wrists, and feathers
Both with modern raptors (birds of prey) and dromaeosaurs the foot is the deadly weapon
Utahraptor was discovered around the time the movie Jurassic Park came out, more recently a new huge block of Utahraptors was found
Paleontologist Bob Bakker tells a compelling story of a Utahraptor through her eyes in his novel Raptor Red
Paleontologist John Ostrom named Deinonychus in 1969 (which also has ties to Jurassic Park)
"The first definitive dromaeosaur with a reasonably complete skeleton ever found in the US" is nicknamed "Julietraptor"
