## Utahraptor in Real Life

Further information: WP:Utahraptor

Utahraptor was a Dromaeosaurid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period in Earth's history, between 135 to 130 million years ago, in what is now the central United States. Utahraptor was of a large and robust build, measuring 4.9–5.5 m (16–18 ft) long and weighing 280–300 kg (620–660 lb), making it the largest known Dromaeosaur (often called "raptors"). Utahraptor was likely an ambush predator, given its thicker and shorter legs than other raptors, implying strong muscles for bursts of speed over sustained pursuit of prey. It may have preyed on Iguanadonts or Ankylosaurs and even Therizinosaurus. The environment Utahraptor inhabited may have been a floodplain prairie or open woodlands with a short wet season.

Utahraptor is named after the state of Utah, where it was found in the United States. Therefor, its name simply means "Utah Thief".
