Utahraptor is one of the oldest and largest known dromaeosaurids. This group of carnivorous dinosaurs had a large retractable sickle claw on its foot, specialized for cutting. With a name meaning “Utah’s predator,” Utahraptor was a ferocious hunter that used its sickle-shaped claws to attack and rip apart its prey.

The claw itself was 9.5 inches (24 cm) long! The species name ‘ostrommaysi’ honors Dr. John Ostrom of Yale University for his pioneering research linking carnivorous dinosaurs to the ancestry of birds.

Did you know that the Velociraptors seen in the film Jurassic Park were actually the size of Utahraptor?! In reality Utahraptor, was quite a bit bigger than Velociraptor; adults were around 20 feet (6.1 meters) long and around 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall at the hip.

The Raptors shown in original Jurassic Park were enlarged Velociraptors (too big for current knowledge back then), but few days after the film was released Paleontologists discovered the Utahraptors which were actually the size shown in the Film!
