- Dr. BC talks at length about the skeleton of Utahraptor. Learn about the skeletal error on the mount and see up close not only its claws and jaws but hear about its tail too!
Errata
A paper that came out in 2019 changed the species back to Utahraptor ostrommaysi
Utahraptor is my favorite dinosaur. This video was very educational and good quality. Keep up the good work. Much love and stay safe
Thank you! Will do!
in its day it would have been a nightmare ,but beautifully created to a awesome creature
So true!!!
Utahraptor has been a personal favourite of mine; I have a Utahraptor face mask and matching set of coasters! Found them at redbubble, they're by Mark Witton.
Other than that, this was a great review 😎
That is awesome! Coasters??? Who knew? Thanks for your kind words!
Same. It even has an entire basket ball team named after it. 😆
Oh my god, thank you for using the correct species when talking about the dromeosaurid from Jurassic Park.
Thank you so much.
Anytime! I am a sauropod specialist so apologies for any theropod errors!
Just found your videos! These are unbelievable interesting! Love it! Please keep up the good content!
Thank you for your kind words! We will keep uploading vids for sure!!!
Another great video. Excellent updated information!
Thank you for your kind words!!!
Awesome and informative great channel!!!!
Thank you so much! Working on some cool new vids in the next few months :-)
@@FossilCrates looking forward to seeing them my friend !
Thanks for the quality video fossil Crates
Thank you for your kind words!
I hear so many contradictory evidence about raptors, like one expert said that raptors in Jurassic Park movie were extremely exaggerated, and that the biggest raptors were no bigger than a large dog, and many were as small as chickens. I know that the smallest ones that were only chicken size is true, but here we have evidence that some Raptors were very large indeed. This Raptor here must have been a ferocious beast, he is very big and has serious tools that would have scared the shit out of most prey. This beast would have taken even a Siberian Tiger down with ease.
The size differences you speak of are because *Velociraptors* are the size of a turkey but the movie made them giant, larger than any known at the time. Then Utahraptor was discovered which was larger than those in the movies. So size depends on the taxon in question. Yes, a tiger would go down to this beast imho!
They were all scary even the Utahraphtor
You are so correct!!!
My 2nd favorite Dromeosaur
Have any true hand claws from Utahraptor been published on? I know that there was a study years ago that re-identified some claws originally thought to be from the hands as coming from the feet. If there is any paper that describes actual hand claws, can you share it with me? Thanks.
Hi! Let me see what I can find in the literature. We are working on casting actual Utahraptor hand claws from the Dalton Wells quarry for a future FossilCrates.com product but it probably won't be for another few months until those are available for purchase.
@@FossilCrates That sounds neat! Thanks.
@@toothclaw6985 I asked around and none of my theropod buddies could think of a Utahraptor hand claw paper. The original paper references one, but nothing we could come up with had details. Maybe Senter did a paper on one (he studies claws)?
@@FossilCrates He did a paper (it's the one I mentioned), but I don't think he found any Utahraptor manual unguals. He just re-identified those thought to be manual as pedal.
@@toothclaw6985 Understood. I didn't see anything else out there but the specimens are in drawers. I have one we are molding and casting and there are others at BYU.
imagine this animal jumping on top of a young sauropod or a juvenile or a juvenile, choking its neck and using its claws to rip and hold the sauropod, that would be amazing
Absolutely! Makes a tiger look tiny too :-)
I don't think Utahraptor could do that, it would have to jump from a cliff or smth
Imagine the scaled up version of the velociraptor vs protoceratops fossil found. If velociraptor weighs 100lbs and protoceratops 400lbs, an equivalent would be finding a utahraptor weighing 1,500lbs fighting an animal the size of a hippo at 6,000lbs
(I hope I got that math right)
That math tracks! It'd be like a half-again-as-heavy Smilodon taking on a hippo or hornless rhino... incredible!
@@FossilCrates Do you know by chance if this exhibit is still up? I just noticed where it is and crazy enough I live less than an hour from it.
@@TaterChip91 As far as I know it is. It is free to visit, too!
@@FossilCrates Definitely seems like it's worth the time to check out, whether it's still there or not. I appreciate you taking time to respond. Thank you
@@TaterChip91 I look forward to hearing your thoughts! If you are there you are only about 15 mins or so from the Museum of Ancient Life which is the largest dinosaur cast museum in the world :-).
Utahraptor is op. How about Dakotaraptor ? Personally I find this one evenmore impressive 🦖🦕
I have thus far only looked at casts of Dakotaraptor but those impressed the heck out of me! I would love to see a Utahraptor cast next to a Dakotaraptor. I know both are fragmentary and this built using some phylogenetic bracketing suppositions but it would still look amazing!!!
You said it had legs designed for speed but Utahraptor is unique among Dromaeosaurids in being better built for brute strength rather than high speeds. It could most likely catch up to most prey of its potential prey but it was no ostrich.
Thanks for commenting! It was definitely capable of, as you said, running down most prey. It wasn’t the fastest of its ilk but had some speed. Thanks for commenting!
If Brock Lesnar was a dinosaur. Also, I was unaware, they had found enough of the skeleton to make a full display mount.
Hahahah! Great analogy! We have lots and lots of disarticulated bones from numerous individuals. Combine that with knowing what it is related to and we can guestimate the missing ones. You are correct, though, we don't have a complete, articulated skeleton.
Is the raptor your pet with your imagination?
please reply
When I think of a pet I think of a Supersaurus!
How powerful would you guess its bite force was?
That is something I don’t know as we have only partial, disarticulated material. I am guessing less than Allosaurus though.
@@FossilCrates would around the same as its body mass be a reasonable estimate?
@@ferociousrazordino3581 Depends on what you are comparing it to as I’d think a similarly sized tyrannosauroid would have more power.
@@FossilCrates i was thinking it would be higher than that of an allosauroid of the same size, maybe around 75% of power of that of a similarly sized tyrannosaur, since its skull appears to be so robust
@@ferociousrazordino3581 I have to defer to jaw experts here!
Why they created the indo raptor for jw fallen kingdom when this predator existed along with mega raptor is beyond me . Why not use a real life animal
No idea whatsoever!
Well, megaraptor and utahraptor are actual animals and we don't have those in jw
@@georgeuferov1497 Which is a crying shame to me!
@@FossilCrates which is why I want a hypothetical second season of Prehistoric Planet to be set in early cretaceous
@@georgeuferov1497 Where do I sign up? :-)
Powerful utahraptor
Absolutely!
@@FossilCrates it totally is amazing
@@elijahglasser1421 I concur, always love checking out this specimen!
@@FossilCrates i wouuld totally want to see a styracosaurus skeleton mosasaurus skeleton and a pterodactyl skeleton even a pteranodon skeleton
@@elijahglasser1421 I have posted videos of mosasaur and pterosaur skeletons on our channel, and on our IG page, which is loaded with good stuff! I think there might be a Styracosaurus pic, but it would be from a few years ago.
That swishy tail end looks like it could have been used in dominance/threatening/mating displays of sorts. Imagine feathers whipped around on that long flexible tail.
I can totally see that! Thanks for sharing!
Dromeosaurs are strong, deinonychus bite force is 8,200 newtons maybe Utahraptor had a bite force of 10,000 + newtons ?!?!
Looking at the arms and fingers i can say that they were in an evolutionary process
