Jurassic world is right now dead, so I'm going to bring it back to at least a zombie state. This is a strange idea, but I'm wondering if most young Dromeaosaurs could glide. We know Miroraptor and probably Sinornithosaurus could as adults, but besides that, it doesn't seem like any others could glide. As adults. What if sub adults or older juvenile raptors developed flight feathers and could glide? We know that Unenlagia as an adult had flight feathers , so why doesn't a sub adult or juvenile have them too. They could be light enough to be able to get off the ground, and it would make them safer from predators. What do you think?
Interesting idea. I don't see it as impossible, but perhaps unlikely. Sure as hell wouldn't want to walking around and get attacked by one of those either way.

Well i think that smaller to medium sized Dromeosaurs such as Velociraptor, Bambiraptor, and Balaur used their feathered arms when they pounced on prey to help stabilize and balance themselves by flapping their arms back and forth. The tiny ones however such as Microraptor and Sinornithosaurus probably could i think that Mahakala and Tianyuraptor could too.

Heeeey I wonder what it would be like if utah raptor could fl--
God help us when the hands of simple logic and physics fail...
Then all hell will be let loose....
Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

If raptors even as large as Utahraptor could fly and defy all laws of physics, then the world and everything in it is doomed. Not even T. rex could stand the invasion.

I'm calling for a DinoFight. Flying Utahraptor flock vs T. rex, Spinosaurus, Mapusaurus, Bahariasaurus, Ekrixinatosaurus, Saurophaganax and Torvosaurus lol XD
In all seriousness though, I don't doubt that Balaur could fly as a juvenile (albeit a glide-fly) being that it was possibly a primitive bird, not a dromaeosaur. I'm sure some young dromaeosaurs could fly like an overweight chicken.

Or my duck. ( I sometimes call her Duckosaurus fatinus)
