Happy Deinonychus Day!
UAlberta student @MarkPowersJ’s thesis outlined a new, short-snouted skull shape for Deinonychus - turns out what was thought to be part of the maxilla was actually the premaxilla!

In bipedal animals, one femur has to support the entire weight of the animal during locomotion. Because of that, the width of the femur can predict the animal's mass.
This was extended to bipedal dinos in Campione et al. 2014 (great paper btw, link: https://t.co/9WygG7XuF4)
