Utahraptor: The Ultimate Raptor #paleontology #dinosaur
Показать описание
Hug!!!
I love this #Utahraptor mount at the Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology in Provo, Utah. #byumuseumofpaleontology
The fact that one can stand directly in front of it and get the feeling that this animal is either excited to see you and wants to give you a hug or is hungry and wants to give you a hug makes me smile.
Utahraptor is the largest known #dromaeosaurid (the term #paleontologists use for #raptors), though there are a few challengers. It is a big, bulky massive beast that might have weighed 1,000+ lbs.
Our video from a few days ago shows us working on a partial skeleton. We have embarked upon a new, long-term project that will result in the most up-to-date Utahraptor skeleton out there in 2025(?).
Utahraptor is known from mostly disarticulated bones from numerous size classes. The famous Utahraptor megablock contains babies and an adult while material collected from two quarries very close to one another have adults of various sizes. This disarticulation means that every skeleton of Utahraptor you see is a best guess.
This particular mount has error in common with many. Those wicked hand claws are actually toe claws! We now know the hand clause are substantially smaller and strongly recurved. That wasn’t known in the original description. It’s hard to argue how impressive looking this Freddy Krueger style hand looks even with the error!
We know it has the traditional tail that acts as a stabilizer but those huge legs suggest this is not an animal that runs fast for long periods of time. It was likely an ambush predator, surprising animals as they drank at the watering hole by emerging from the woods nearby or possibly laying in wait along a trail, maybe camouflaged with the background.
Pound for pound this has to be one of the most terrifyingly efficient predators ever to have walked on land. Not only does it have a massive killing claw on each foot, but each strong long arm ends in three meat hooks, the other toe claws were sharp, and it has quite the powerful skull for a “raptor”.
It is always fun to see the Utahraptor original bones, I just got to look at them yesterday and I’m still smiling :-)
