Utahraptor Bookmark

Utahraptor, from the Early Cretaceous period, is the largest and earliest-known dromaeosaurid (running lizard). Standing on two feet, they reached lengths of around 20 ft (6.1 m) long, and stood 5 feet (1.5 m) tall at the hip. With a sickle claw up to 9.5 in (24 cm) long, these prehistoric relatives of birds were likely fierce hunters, able to rip apart prey such as the herbivore iguanadon with ease.
