* 6 (Kate’s Dinosaur Theme Park)
* Unknown (Other populations)

## Basic Information

Deinonychus is a species of dromaosaurid that was native to North America during the early Cretaceous, but de-extinction resulted in the species becoming very common in a number of areas where they established themselves as predators high on the food chain. Deinonychus that feature in TToR include one named ”Archie”, his pack, Kaiser Deinonychus, a female deinonychus owned by Pura, and a few Unnamed ones from Fiery Carnotaurus’s current dinosaur park. They supposedly make history as the first animal brought back from extinction by Fiery, which would in turn make them the first de-extinct animal if Herrerasaurus is excluded for being wished into existence.

## History

### De-Extinction

The first Deinonychus to be resurrected would be made in Cark’s vault. They would be used in Fiery Carnotaurus’s theme park. Other deinonychus breeds were presumably cloned using similar methods.

### In Theme Parks and Zoos

Deinonychus of Fiery Carnotaurus’s first park would live in a meadow. There were nine adult raptors, and many juveniles which would go to an unspecified place for unknown reasons. When Jim’s advertising team visited the lab for a commercial, a Deinonychus hatched in front of one of the slave girls and thought she was his mother. When the park shut down, all deinonychus survived and became one of the few species to survive the disaster, though when Kanye’s Prehistoric Fauna Protection Act passed all Deinonychus on the island were caught and sent to the sanctuary.

A new variant closer to the original species would be made for the second park, but not much was ever stated about them. The Deinonychus would be moved to Monster Island after the Park was shut down but died off when it sank.

A new variant was created by Kate’s team to replace the stock of the first variant, which the third Park was using. They were a favorite of kids due to the live feeding of rodents.

Another variant of Deinonychus was displayed in Prehistory Journey, a park owned by Antonio. There were five Deinonychus kept in an enclosure, and based on what was observed by Kate, Lav and their families while visiting, they seemed to fight often. The Deinonychus there would break out during an incident, and their fate past that is unknown.

### In The Wild

There were Deinonychus breeds from Eros, EosCorp, and Titania Genetics That were let loose in Japan, Northern California and Germany respectively, but all three of those breeds were captured by Kanye’s dinosaur-wrangling squad and sent to the sanctuary.

Cark’s first two Deinonychus breeds were left to be abandoned on islands. The first breed was completely relocated to the sanctuary planet, where they are doing well. The second breed is extinct.

It currently hasn’t been specified how other populations are doing.

## Trivia

* Archie is portrayed by Fiery Carnotaurus. Other deinonychus are not distinct characters, with the exception of the sapient “Kaiser Deinonychus”.
