Fun fact: a 10 year old actually convinced a Utah senator to try and see if the Utah state fossil can be changed from Allosaurus to Utahraptor, I don’t remember how it went down but Allosaurus remained the state fossil and Utahraptor became the state dinosaur. True story
You know something I JUST realized? Dinosaurs like these have claws. They need those claws to be sharp. These beasts probably scratch up trees like cats do. That image is adorable.
Thank you for covering one of my favorite dinosaurs, I'm currently reading primitive war, that story has one of the most accurate depictions of Utahraptor and they are scary as hell being a constant looming threat.
@@malo1343 it was okay you basically some unlucky sod left behind assumed dead it played very similarly to outlast where you cant fight back all you can do is run and hide in various hidey holes.
I heard that they were actually larger. 20-25 ft long and up to a ton. They were also slower then most raptors, but their prey was much slower so that didn't affect them much.
I’ve known these guy’s for quite some time now… it would be cool if they added these fella’s in the Jurassic Franchise, they could be idk, at least 6’11” or 7’6”, I could see them having feathers and a bunch of velociraptor’s fearing these apex animals… as an artist who’s been drawing since 2013 or 2014 (I’m not quite sure), I could draw these fearsome fella’s on what they could look like. I love the Utahraptor, along with velociraptor’s.
When you were writing this why would you say they can be at least 6'11" or 7'6" lmao. Is it either or? I mean that's oddly specific. Why couldn't they be seven foot one or six foot ten or even 7 ft 2 haha why just 6 11 or 7 6 haha
can we discuss dromaeosaur mouths? specifically the back of the mouths, do you guys think they had cheeks? after all they are one of the closest relatives to the birds, & they were very birdlike, & since most birds have cheeks, don’t see why dromaeosaurs would lack cheeks
My favorite dinosaur, I actually had a few ideas on implementing this murder macaw in a canon Jurassic Park project, if you’d like to read about it: “Recognized as the main species U. ostrommaysorum, this dinosaur lives in the eastern forests of the BioSyn nature reservation. Slightly bigger than InGen’s ‘velociraptors’ at 2.1 meters tall and 6 meters long, and weighing in around 300-500kg, they are the largest dromaeosaurs cloned, and thus are more robust than the rest of the group of animals they belong to, focusing more on power than the speed of their cousins. They were spliced with raven and Stygian owl DNA in the hopes of pacifying the animals, however it instead molded them into intelligent, purely-nocturnal creatures with black coats of feathers to blend them into the night, with highly-reflective eyes that can shine a hellfire-red; giving the impression that their territory is haunted by will-o-th’-wisps. They have excellent hearing, and they communicate through low-frequency hums and vocalizations similar to the other dromeaosaurs, but can emit a hooting sound resembling human laughter in order to mark territory. Thanks to their raven genetics, they also show the capability to mimic basic human phrases that catch their interest (“Hello?”; “Hey!”). Their normal diet consists of small to medium-sized animals, particularly young sauropods, however an injury to a particular individual has forced a small utahraptor unit to become man-eaters.”
YEEEES my boy, the dinosaur of the place I live in. Unless that is changed to the saits. but there are a few dinosaurs that I like more, like Giganotosaurus(my fav dino)
If I happen to come across it, or am tagged in it, and it suits a video I'm making then sure! I will not promise however, as the photos/art I choose are dependent on the video and theme.
I feel like this is the second favorite. In my opinion I think the Dilophosaurus is cooler since I love the crests, and I love the terrifying things you gave me about it
@@jwdominionpyroraptor4775 exactly. For the longest when I wasn't cultured I thought the veloci in JP was the irl veloci, but then I saw some videos and went to a museum and learned that the veloci in JP is based off of Utah.
The year it was discovered, the only thing I got for Christmas was a magazine about it. That might sound sad but it was one of the best Christmas presents I ever got 😂
If you guys ever want a good book to read, "Raptor Red" by Robert T. Bakker is about Utahraptors, specifically a pair of sisters and their trials. It was written soon after the first JP and features some info about it's original finding too
The info was very interesting but I enjoyed the fact that this whole short was presented by someone in a Dino mask. THAT made the short so much better!! 💪🏼😆
I love the raptor species. The Utahraptor is so cool. The feathers are also really nice looking on these dinos. I like the feathered look over the skin look
Megaraptorans: deadly arm claws
Other dromaeosaurs: deadly toe claw
Utahraptor: both. Both is good
True
@@voidedgun it is in fact possible to claw with hands not pronated, just swipe.
Best of both worlds
“Six inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the middle toe.”
- Alan Grant 1993
@@voidedgun it would be MORE effective than pronated wrists; they could ‘hug’ them and cause 6 knife sized slash wounds
A raptor pinning down it's prey and tearing it apart with its claws is definitely a menacing sight to see. Beautiful creatures indeed.
Nature is beautiful
The disembowling theory has been debunked
They used there sickle claw to grip on to prey
@@jwdominionpyroraptor4775 they will do that too. They have alot of options on how to kill you.

This is why Utahraptor is my all-time favorite dinosaur. They’re dromeosaurs built like tyrannosaurs.
100% agreed
and the Guanlong, the tyrannosaur built like a dromeosaur (I think)
Oh yeah same
Yeah the raptors are super interesting and deadly dinosaurs Utah raptor especially
My favorite dino is gigas

Has always been my favorite Raptor.

We need a VR horror game about dinosaurs.
There is one it takes place just after Jurassic park was abandoned.

It also had a cartoony art style. I’m talking a game explicitly made to be scary. That game is stressful as all hell though so I see your point.
Is Utahraptor big enough for me to ride?
Few things surprise me more than a Dromaeosaur built for strength.
He looks so cute! I wanna hug him!

Love it. Utahraptors were always my favourite.
"A truly terrifying but beautiful animal" bro described almost all carnivore dinosaurs 💀
Another fact is that the Utahraptors are actually the closest thing that has similarities to the Velociraptor’s size in Jurassic Park
Yeah but it wasn't formally described until 2004
That ending shot is honestly beautiful
"Unlike other raptors these guys had another weapon called them hands"

I just want to say I love your content man keep up the good work and keep informing us about prehistoric life
He is truly the biggest bird
Deinocheirus is the biggest bird
You should read about them in Primitive War . Really showcases even more how terrifying these guys are .

Kind of. Its a bit more complicated. Think like a grizzly combined with a hawk, except with razor sharp claws
Yes, don't listen to them. You are absolutely correct.
@@TheDinoFax I mean grizzlies already have sharp claws but yeah. Also you forgot to mention the lower jaw structure of Utahraptor
Utahraptor: “You ready to catch these rocks son?”

I saw a specimen once in 2010. Just the bones were massive. I can't imagine fully fleshed.
