Perhaps the largest known dromaeosaur, Utahraptor might be the largest predator of its time. Depending on its size it might have been a solitary hunter, but there are some evidence that they may also have hunted in packs, like other dromaeosaurids. Large sauropods of its time, such as Cedarosaurus and Brontomerus, are probably the suitable prey for these 'raptors'. Its huge 23 cm long, toe claw was of course its primary weapon. Its teeth and jaws weren't developed for tearing off flesh. Here are a few facts on Utahraptor;
