Daily Dino Fact: Utahraptor reigns supreme
Utahraptor - still the king of the Dromaeosaurs
Q: What was the biggest raptor? -Repticore5 (I believe it was Sinraptor – Shadowflyer)
A: Heyyy… very good call Shadowflyer. Standing nearly 10 feet tall (3 meters) and roughly 25 feet (7.6 meters) in length, it would appear that Sinraptor is actually bigger than the other raptors. After all, Utahraptor is only 23 feet (7 m) long. Could this be the new biggest raptor of them all?
Sorry Charlie
Turns out that Sinraptor isn’t actually a raptor. Sure, it’s called a raptor (which means “thief” in latin) and it kind of looks like a raptor. However, it isn’t a member of the Dromaeosaurids. If you remember, Dromaeosaurs are what we usually refer to as “raptors.” Sinraptor was just your regular ol’ theropod, but we bet he was still pretty scary to cross.
So there you go… Utahraptor with his giant claw and menacing reputation still remains the king of the raptors!
