Fun Fact: As Utahraptor was found shortly after Jurassic park came out, it was supposed to be named "U. spielbergi" after Steven Spielberg, in exchange for him funding paleontological research, but unfortunately it never happened

[@prehistoricchannel128]

Something I wish did happen. I wish they could settle on a price point.

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

@@prehistoricchannel128 It was actually originally going to be Deinonychus but they changed it since they thought no one would remember deinonychus. So technically it’s a Deinonychus but has the same size of Utahraptor

[@Pridam]

@@MarkTheDilophosaurus281 Utahraptor was actually bigger than the movie Velociraptor. The fictional hybrid, Inodraptor is actually the size of the Utahraptor, and he (yes it was confirmed the Indoraptor was male) absolutely dwarfed Blue the Velocitaptor

[@GTSE2005]

Jurassic World Evolution's Utahraptor is the best reconstruction of the animal ever. Change my mind.

[@Cult-of-the-sun]

True it used to be Jurassic world the game(stated by the person who discovered it in the gaming beaver interview) P.S:this was before jwa or Jwe2

Other than paleontologists utahraptor

[@hcollins9941]

@GTSE2005 Can’t wait to see the design of it in the new Walking With Dinosaurs BBC is making!

[@telson1583]

For now I agree, but I'm olding out for the new WWD design and for when the Prehistoric Kingdom one finally comes out. Those 2 have the potential to detrone JWE2

[@BradleyHoffman-qv7uk]

I agree with you jwe2 utahraptor is best

[@eltaco5151]

Never would have expected Jurassic World to have the most realistic representation of a dromeosaur in media lol

[@beastmaster0934]

I still find it crazy that the JURASSIC franchise of all people, has one of, if not THE best reconstruction of Utahraptor to date.

[@sedulouscorn8186]

Jurassic world 2015 has the most accurate baryonix recreation

[@GaiusIntrepidus]

​@@sedulouscorn8186damn fckin shame they got rid of that for a croco-lizard for Fallen Kingdom😢

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

The fact that they put this dinosaur in Europe, even though it’s literally named after the place where that was discovered via Utah is just crazy

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

It goes without saying, the Jurassic World Evolution Utahraptor is the Canon Utahraptor, and one of the most perfect depictions of a Dromaeosaur I’ve ever seen.

[@Rayaan_stuff]

Id say the trespasser tribe C alpha is the definitive jurassic utahraptor for me atleast

[@diogod2347]

It is the best depiction but it's definetly not the canon look, none of the original Frontier designs are

[@oscarstainton]

I wonder if it’s a stretch to envision Utahraptor as bulky and bear-like. They don’t need cheetah speed, but they’re pretty much fast enough to catch up to you.

[@Beelzizzy]

The Dilophosaur gave the JP Velociraptors all its height I swear

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

I know and I’ve said that so many times it’s not even funny 😄

[@XavierDePina-fl9gi]

Just wanted to say that although rare, we do see coordinated pack hunting in birds. Harris’s hawks and aplomado falcons do pack hunt. And Merlin falcons have been observed hunting in pairs(in the wild and in captivity falconry)

[@MrT_Rex]

Utahraptor : lived in Utah WWD : put it in Europe What didn't you understand ?

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

That’s what I’m saying

[@juanyusee8197]

According to the old WWD website, the reasoning was due to Iguanodon, Polacanthus, Hypsilophodon and Hoplitosaurus being considered to be from both Europe and 'Murica at the time, so they thought putting Utahraptor into Europe is a reasonable hypothesis at the time.

[@CTY547]

Except that hypothesis literally makes no sense since no Utahraptor sized and like animals were ever discovered in Spain. It's like saying that since red foxes can both be found in America and Europe, that must mean that coyotes can also be found in Europe. Just like with the Liopleurodon, it was just a dumb mistake that they decided to do.​@juanyusee8197

[@juanyusee8197]

@@CTY547 Palaeontologist Jim Kirkland had this to say in Twitter: "Had lunch with WWD team in 1992 and talked to them about the transcontinental connections, which they ran with from there without ever talking to me again. I now envision an archipelago as a crucible for evolutionary innovation connecting the continents as the separated in Early Cretaceous."

[@stuartwilkinson172]

My favorite dinosaur has changed over the years. When I was in 5th grade, it was the Utah raptor, before that it was velocitaptor. Now, I'd have to say it's a mix of a few dinosaurs, Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus and Spinosaurus

[@SoftwareLearningify]

The newest path of titans Utahraptor is my favorite representation of the species I’ve seen in a WHILE because it’s incredible in colorscheme, accuracy and model, it was super cool and I like it a LOT

[@RedBeardJohnny61]

Only problem primordial tyrants made it smaller than achillobator when the roles are reversed

[@SoftwareLearningify]

@@RedBeardJohnny61 yeah, other than that super good

[@SpinedLizardLagoon]

​@@RedBeardJohnny61 Primordial Tyrants made it, and their other mods, the same size as the real animals; it's Path of Titans who tends to oversize their dinos, such as Achillobator.

[@brianlevine871]

That brightly colored Utahraptor from "Jurassic World: The Game" almost looks like it's prepping for the 4th of July, especially with the tail feathers resembling fireworks.

[@generalspitfire01]

Nah bruh. That raptor became the Firefox browser logo

[@dinofan2010]

The Raptor in Ark is indeed a Utahraptor, specifically a different species, Utahraptor prime.

[@hcollins9941]

Although, walking with dinosaurs was what introduced me to Utahraptor; the two things that cemented this dinosaur into my memory was the 1996 book by Dom Lessem called “ RAPTORS!: THE NASTIEST DINOSAURS “, and the 2001 dinosaur hunting game “Primal Prey”

[@jacobcox4565]

7:09 Knowing Jurassic Fight Club, I'm pretty sure that's not a reference to a really good piece of paleo media and instead the creature designers just thought "Red scary. Red is color of blood. Make scary carnivore red like blood to make even scarier."

[@CJ-BZ]

JWE2’s Utah is an absolute knockout. Best one ive seen.

[@naahvi4867]

this was actually birthday and utahraptor is one of my favourite dinosaurs ever.

[@vizkus3423]

It’s not really a dinosaur, but one of my absolute favourite prehistoric animals is the Cotylorhynchus.

[@KayWhyCommando]

I love sharks and I love dinosaurs, and for that reason my favorite dinosaur is Carcharodontosaurus.

[@coltontodd353]

Familiar with a relatively new channel called BEASTOPIA? They just released their new animated video comparing the JP/JW Tyrannosaurus to what is known of a real one. They also say they will have a battle between the two and also seems like their next comparison will be Velociraptor.

[@plumzilla29]

[@Senbonzakura776]

Totally glad I found this channel and really enjoy these vids...Favorite dino is the Acro

[@t-r-e-x452]

I love how you started with that blooper from WWD. There is also the Kenner Utahraptor toy And I'm sure there's a slight homage to WWD with the colors of ZT2 Utahraptor.

[@kkseyeskk5023]

Dinosaur King was my childhood, I loved the Utahraptor design!

[@Werevampiwolf]

Fun fact, the Jurassic Park velociraptor "barking" came from mixing several real sounds, but the main one was the sound of tortoises mating. Also fuck yeah, Paleo Pines! And Teen Titans was one of my favorite shows as a kid

[@ProfAlix]

Great video. I just want to say that in Jurassic World The Game if you get in animals enclosure and press the "Evolutions" button you get shown all the evolutions from the animal (1-10, 11-20 ,21-30, 31-40) and also bonuses which include DNA, food, money and green money

[@ExtermCentral]

Primitive War also has rockin great Utahraptor designs too, and with multiple variants based on climate and region.

[@The_PokeSaurus]

I've seen many people think the Jurassic Park Raptors are based on Utahraptor, thank you for knowing it's not.

[@galanorbrighteye]

The Jurassic World Evolution 2's design was the ENTIRE reason I bought that DLC pack. A shockingly good design. Honeslty a lot of the DLC animals knock it out of the park. Also Paleo Pines mentioned :D

[@dont-hurt-me2519]

A few interpretations of Utahraptor that I know of are: Kenner/Jurassic Park - To my knowledge, Utahraptor has appeared at least twice throughout the Jurassic Toy Line. The first time was in 1994, where Kenner released an Electronic Utahraptor figurine that was colored mostly Orange with Black Spots & a Cream-Colored Underbelly. The second time the Jurassic Toy Line featured Utahraptor was in 1997 (to coincide with The Lost World: Jurassic Park). It wasn't changed that much; just with darker colors & thicker stripes. Raptor Red (1995) - A novel, written by the Paleontologist: Robert T. Bakker, that chronicles the life of a Female Red-Snouted Utahraptor. While the book offers few illustrations, the KZbinr/DeviantArtist Cody Lake has taken the liberty of animated some scenes from the novel. ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6DNl5aXat2gf9E) Safari Ltd. - Utahraptor was featured a few times as a Safari Ltd Figurine. In 1996, they made an adult & a hatchling. Both were featherless, slim and has a yellowish brown coloration with black stripes. In 2023, Safari Ltd made an updated Utahraptor figurine with feathers, bulky and a coloration of blue, black, white & yellow. Savage Quest (1996) - Utahraptor was featured as a enemy in this arcade game, Walking with Dinosaurs Franchise (1999) - While you already talked about its' inclusion in the documentary, Utahraptor has been featured throughout the franchise. Toyway made figurines of the creatures featured in the documentary & one of them was the Utahraptor. Utahraptor was also featured in the live show, Walking with Dinosaurs: The Live Experience/Arena Spectacular. Originally, the Utahraptor was portrayed as featherless but in future showing, they added feathers. Utahraptor is also set to appear in Season 2 of Walking with Dinosaurs in 2025. Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara (2007) - While not shown, Utahraptor is mentioned in this book as a barber in the city of Chandara. They utilize their toe claws to cut people's hair (a bit ironic seeing as Dromaeosaur toe claws were better at piercing/gripping rather than cutting).

[@raudhbansi2887]

Nice video♥️

[@Senkokura_Reiken]

Hey man I love your vids, great job on this one. I was wondering if you ever seen an internet series called Weird Birds. It was a sorta ongoing found footage kinda thread someone did on twitter where dinosaurs started appearing all over the world and we get updates in the form of photos and recording taken by a poor guy in the middle of this. I recommend it as it makes the animals feel like animals but also very scary as they probably would be. I would be interested in hearing your opinion on the creature designs and the story as a whole. Looking forward to whatever your next video is, keep it up and have a great day. Edit: Had it as Stange Birds, it's actually called Weird Birds.

[@scottduncan5525]

Wish you included the Teryx Grimm from RWBY. A raptor that takes feathers to a new level

[@darcy5754]

I love these videos

[@MarkTheDilophosaurus281]

Same bro, every Sunday I am excited for these videos

[@fanofsteveperry]

My fave utahraptor depiction might be the path of titans one. It looks bulky, but still looks streamlined. The feathers on it are so life-like. I love the little head movements it does. It reminds me of a bird. I also like the jwe2 utah as well. I've played the isle before & i didn't realize there was a utah on there. I was stunned when i heard it's sounds. It sounds just like the jp raptors. As a kid watching jurassic park, one of my fave dinos to see were the raptors. Also thx for mentioning land before time. Many people ignore the dinos on there. Thud and screech the raptors are my fave sharpteeth from the land before time show.

[@Kisseyhersh123]

Frontier Developments is really pushing for more accurate dinos in that game more than anything, I'd imagine they'd make a great dinosaur zoo game if PK wasn't doing that. Also! The reason Prehistoric Kingdom has a bunch of *older* images that are less accurate, is due to the fact they've had to redesign this game a few times. There were two waves of early beta builds with a lot of dinosaurs and very different models (one of which I played at PAX West). They had to rebuild them because of technical limitations, but this current build of the game is the *Final* version, and they should be adding a large number of creatures from that original roster over time. So those *were* in the game at some point.

[@MorosTheDom]

Utahraptor:I am the biggest Bissekty giant: hold my beer

[@peabrain6872]

Dawg yall cant seriously still be bringing that guy up

[@Clownfan137]

Bissekty is very questionable. Or at least as far as I know

[@christosdoesthings]

Bissekty is a toe claw. feet are some of the worst bones to use to scale an entire animal. If you scaled a tyrannosaurus from just it's toes, you'd have a 16 meter T. rex. If you scaled a Shoebill from it's toes, you'd have an emu sized Shoebill.

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

The Bissekty Giant is probably a Megaraptoran.

[@TayePurks]

See I thought Utahraptor was the only deinonychus that did NOT have feathers because of how it’s depicted in media! They almost never have feathers so I assumed they didn’t in real life so thanks for teaching me something new! Deinonychus’ really are just like large birds minus a beak which is so cool to see! Although they wouldn’t be making that roaring sound lol

[@silverfrostblade5452]

My Favorite Dinosaur of all time is Ankylosaurus or Anodontosaurus. I love those chunky armored tanks. I even named my two turtles after them, Anky and Ano.

[@corranth2465]

[@adoptedmoth]

Helena Walker classified Ark's raptor as Utahraptor prime, so it deserves its spot on this list

In the Ark Survival Evolved dossier that you can find around the island it says Utahraptor on it. What’s funny is there is deinonychus but it is a lot bigger than Utahraptor.

[@christianmanka3884]

My current favorite dinosaur is Timurlengia. But I really love Utahraptor! Love the list.

I always enjoyed the big dromaeosaurs and Utahraptor is no exception

[@darkwarriorgames5092]

Yes the ark raptor is their utahraptor. Helena walker’s dossier on them confirms it. Technically it’s called Utahraptor Prime, so it’s a genetically modified utahraptor and reason being is some Dinos in ark are modified for their environments. I love the other interpretations better for sure. I also want to add if and when ark 2 comes they’re shown to be fully feathered on the second trailer. And for sure that makes me happy bc Utahraptor is my favorite dinosaur and raptor of all time

Favourite dinosaur is such a tricky question. I think I have to say Styracosaurus, though that is recent to the last few years. Before that it was always just raptors. But I cannot pick which real world dromaeosaur to be my favourite.

You should have mentioned the pronated wrists! The limp noodle “raptor hands” facing palm down would have been physically impossible for a dromeosaur, and in fact their wrists would have to be broken to face that way, and I see that in a lot of these old designs. When done correctly, raptor’s palms should face each other

[@Dinoslay]

7:40 Scrooge McRaptor. Only needs the monocle and hat. 14:14 This one could fit right in to a street parade at Rio De Janeiró. Fun fact, Kenner made an electronic toy of Utahraptor for series 2 of their Jurassic Park toy line. It was basically just an upscaled orange Velociraptor with pinkish red eyes and had a leg kicking action as well as posable sickle claws.

[@tyrannotherium7873]

[@coomsday5182]

I just want to say that the ARK interpretation is indeed utahraptor, Utahraptor Prime to be specific, raptor is only it's common name, and the model you were looking at is the outdated one, it was vastly improved with it's TLC. I'd love to give you a link to an image of the new one, but yt blocks links. The main things that changed are: It's sparse feathers acutally look like feathers, not pieces of plastic, it's wrists are sadly still broken but it's snout in my opinion looks more accurate, being a bit less rounded and *maybe* being a bit longer.

As a Utahn, I approve.
