Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight
Deinonychus
4. Deinonychus sculpture head shot. With a
mouth full of teeth, Deinonychus may not
appear to be very bird-like, but fossils now
indicate that it was a bird. Sculpture by Stephen
Czerkas, © 2002.
5. Deinonychus sculpture full body.
Deinonychus was initially thought to be a
bird-like dinosaur that represented what the
ancestors of birds were like before flight had fully
evolved. It is now known that Deinonychus had
ancestors that were capable of flying which means
that it was really a bird which had lost the ability
to fly. Sculpture by Stephen Czerkas, © 2002.
