Here are the facts that I found out:
It's name means 'terrible claw'.
They had long hooked claws on its hands. These helped them grab their prey and tear at the skin to get to the meat because just like the tyrannosaurs they were meat eaters.
The second toe on each of its feet had a huge hooked claw. They could flick this down like a knife to cut up what it had hunted.
It probably had feathers like other raptors. This helped people believe that birds descended from dinosaurs.
It was part of the raptor family.
It probably lived in North America. In 1931 they discovered fossils in Southern Montana.
They were hunters and fierce and lived about 110 million years ago. They were about the size of adult person.
They lived during the Mesozoic Era during the Cretaceous Period.
It had about 60 teeth.
Here is a picture of Deinonychus:
