Tenontosaurus ("tendon lizard") is a genus of iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaurs, which lived in the mid-Cretaceous period, approximately 120 million years ago during the Aptian, in what is now North America.

Deinonychus (gr. "terrible claw") is a genus represented by a single species of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur, which lived in the middle of the Cretaceous period, approximately 119 and 97 million years ago, between the Aptian and the Albian, in what is now it's North America. Deinonychus was a very agile and fast runner, qualities that were favored by its long and rigid tail, always raised, which helped it maintain its balance during the race. Although closely related to the Mongolian velociraptor, the deinonicus is easily distinguished by its shorter snout, stockier build, and larger size. It reached lengths of between 2.5 and 3.5 meters and a weight of 50 to 70 kilograms.

The name "terrible claw" from the Greek δεινος, "terrible" and ονυξ/ονυχος, "claw", refers to the unusually large, sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each hind foot, which probably stood up so that not touch the ground while the dinosaur walked on the third and fourth toes. Historically it was thought that Deinonychus would kick its sickle claw to make large cuts on its prey; but recent evidence in reconstructions of the similar Velociraptor suggests that the claws were used for stabbing, rather than tearing. The species is named D. antirrhopus which means "opposite balance", which refers to John Ostrom's idea about the function of the tail. As in other dromaeosaurids, the tail vertebrae have a series of ossified tendons and very long bony processes. These features seemed to make the tail a stiff counterweight, but a very closely related fossil; Velociraptor mongoliensis (IGM 100/986) has an articulated skeleton in which the tail curves laterally in an S-shape. This suggests that, in life, the tail may have curved to the sides with a high level of flexibility. Found in the Cloverly and Antlers Formations, remains of Deinonychus were found to be closely associated with those of the ornithopod Tenontosaurus. The teeth discovered alongside the Tenontosaurus specimens imply they were hunted or at least eaten by Deinonychus.
