Dakotaraptor (SciiFii)

Dakotaraptor magnum, also known as the Dakota goblin, is a species of non-avian dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous period as an extinct species, Dakotaraptor steini, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. Dakotaraptor magnum is exceptionally large for a dromaeosaurid; growing to be about 4.35-6 meters (14.3-19.7 feet) in length and weighing around 220-350 kilograms (485-772 lbs). Apart from its large size, Dakotaraptor magnum also have some additional distinguishing traits; for example, on the fourth foot claw, the boss that serves as an attachment for the tendon of the flexor muscle is reduced in size. While the hatchlings and young juveniles are capable of short bursts of flight using their wings, the adults are much too heavy to fly. Despite this flightless condition, the feathers are not reduced. There is a variety of functions for its wings, including shielding of eggs, display, intimidation and keeping balance while pinning down prey with the sickle claws. Dakotaraptor magnum is entirely carnivorous and primarily preys on animals smaller than itself as well as scavenge on carrion. Dakotaraptor magnum is usually a solitary animal and it prefers to live in most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. Dakotaraptor magnum is found in zoos and safari parks across the world, due to zoos and safari parks commissioning SciiFii to have many formerly extinct species in their parks, as long as they take proper care for them.
