Sounds like the turbocharged dinosaur-like creatures in Larry Niven,
Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes's book 'The Legacy of Heorot' a 1987
sci-fi novel with some curious similarities to the later (1990) Michael
Crichton book 'Jurassic Park'. Not only that, it was a better book than
Jurassic Park IMO.
