通称:恐爪龙
物种:恐爪麦格纳佩德目
时代:白垩纪
食性:食肉动物
性情:好斗型
野生
当你听到恐爪龙急促的爪子挠动声时,往往为时已晚。优秀的猎人从来都是从藏身处跳出来向猎物扑去。恐爪龙也是一个敏捷的攀岩者,它可以从容地从一个墙壁跳到另一个墙壁,寻找高的有利位置伺机而动。饥饿的恐爪龙往往无所畏惧,它们会捕食比自己大得多的猎物,用镰刀形的爪子抓住恐龙的背部,然后在猎物死亡之前开始进食。虽然它喜欢新鲜的肉,但如果没有其他食物的话它也会考虑尸体。
家养
驯养一只恐爪龙需要充足的食物供应,与它们的高活动水平相匹配,它们的新陈代谢速度很快。恐爪龙在有蛋的巢穴附近也有很强的领地性,即使这些蛋不是它自己的。这使得繁育它们成为一个危险的过程。除非从蛋孵化进行驯服抚养,否则它们无法驯服;野生恐爪龙狩猎本能如此强烈以至于它会本能地扑向一个想要成为主人的人。
Common name: Deinonychus
Species: Deinonychus magna pede
Time: Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Wild
By the time you hear the scurrying claws of the Deinonychus, it's often too late. Superior hunters, they leap from a hiding place and pounce on their prey. The Deinonychus is an agile climber as well, jumping from wall ledge to wall ledge as it seeks high vantage points to lie in wait. A hungry Deinonychus tends to be fearless and will hunt prey much larger than itself, latching onto a dinosaur's back with its sickle-shaped claws, then starting to feed before its victim is even dead. While it likes its meat fresh, a Deinonychus isn't above scavenging a carcass if no other food is available.
Domesticated
Raising a Deinonychus in captivity requires an ample food supply, as they have a fast metabolism to match their high activity level. The Deinonychus is also fiercely territorial near nests with eggs, even if the eggs aren't its own. This makes breeding successive generations a hazardous process. Unless raised from eggs, they cannot be tamed; the hunter instinct of a wild Deinonychus is so strong that it reflexively pounces on a would-be master.
