Thumbnail: 2 male Utahraptors prepare to clash with each other for territory. Utahraptor (meaning "Utah's thief") is a genus of large dromaeosaurid (a group of feathered carnivorous theropods) dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period from around 135 to 130 million years ago in what is now the United States. The genus was described in 1993 by American paleontologist James Kirkland and colleagues with the type species Utahraptor ostrommaysi, based on fossils that had been unearthed earlier from the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah.
Colours were slightly inspired by Bateleurs UPDATE (12/06/24): Edited the description so that Utahraptor's name translation is correct. No idea why Wikipedia said it translated to: 'Utah's predator'. If this is used, give me credit. Music: Jurassic Park
