At the request of u/whenweriiide this month I present the Utahraptor. This raptor is the only thing of note in Utah (excluding Mormons)

The Utahraptor lived in the early Cretaceous period, about 125 million years ago! They were thrust into the plasma fold with most other dinosaurs 🦖 and will return soon!

It had four-toed feet; the second toe had a 9-15 inch (23-38 cm) sickle-like claw and the other toes had smaller claws. Its long tail had bony rods running along the spine giving it rigidity; the tail was used for balance and fast turning ability. It had a relatively large brain and large, keen, eyes. Utahraptor was 16-23 feet (5-7 m) long and may have weighed about 1 ton.

Utahraptor, like other dromaeosaurids, may have hunted in packs, attacking even very large animals, perhaps even large sauropods and ankylosaurids, or Americans. Utahraptor was a dromaeosaurid, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the highest among the dinosaurs. This means he was a giant fucking nerd that will consume human jocks for taking Stacey from them. Utahraptor walked on two slender, bird-like legs; it must have been a fast runner, considering its legs and light weight. When it ran, it rotated its huge middle-toe-claw upwards and ran on the other toes. This is similar to middle school Naruto fans, which combined with being a nerd leads many experts to believe he was a weeb

Utahraptor was first found in eastern Utah (in the western United States) in 1991. It was named by paleontologists James Ian Kirkland, Robert Gaston and Donald Burge in 1993. Upon first discovery, they were believed them to be ancient Mormons. Knowing what we know about dinosaur 🦖 superiority now proves this claim false.
