"In the glass cases here, you can see a couple of sculptures which we acquired through a gift from the Boys and Girls' Club of Honolulu. One shows a pack of Deinonychuses attacking an Iguanadon. These were little nasty creatures that hunted in packs - they stood about five feet tall, six to eight feet long, with a very sharp claw that they used for slashing, and these dinosaurs
apparently ganged up on other dinosaurs and slashed them until they died."
"In the case next to us here is a single Deinonychus in a running pose, and next to it is a skeleton model of Velociraptor. This, of course, is the main dinosaur in Jurassic Park. The Velociraptor and Deinonychus were more like cousins - they both were about the same size as predators, they hunted in packs, and had that sharp middle claw for hunting."
