Tenontosaurus - Tenontosaurus TillettiTenontosaurus (/tɪˌnɒntoʊˈsɔːrəs/ ti-NON-toh-SOR-əs; meaning "sinew lizard") is a genus of medium- to large-sized ornithopod dinosaur. The genus is known from the late Aptian to Albian ages of the middle Cretaceous period sediments of western North America, dating between 115 and 108 million years. The genus contains two species, Tenontosaurus tilletti (described by John Ostrom in 1970[1]) and Tenontosaurus dossi (described by Winkler, Murry, and Jacobs in 1997).[2] Many specimens of T. tilletti have been collected from several geological formations throughout western North America. T. dossi is known from only a handful of specimens collected from the Twin Mountains Formation of Parker County, Texas. Deinonychus - Deinonychus antirrhopusDeinonychus (/daɪˈnɒnɪkəs/ dy-NON-i-kəs; from Greek: δεινός deinós, 'terrible' and ὄνυξ ónux, genitive ὄνυχος ónuchos 'claw') is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur with one described species, Deinonychus antirrhopus. This species, which could grow up to 3.4 meters (11 ft) long, lived during the early Cretaceous Period, about 115–108 million years ago (from the mid-Aptian to early Albian stages). Fossils have been recovered from the U.S. states of Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, in rocks of the Cloverly Formation, Cedar Mountain Formation and Antlers Formation, though teeth that may belong to Deinonychus have been found much farther east in Maryland.

Tenontosaurus is far from defenceless. A single adult male could take about 10 Deinonychus to take it down, and in the Yale kill site, 5 deinonychus were killed. Therefore, Tenontosaurus destroys the raptors
