Maybe. It's kind of under-wraps. I'll decide.

I guess Dr Bakker was right.  Utahraptor was a social creature, just as I had hoped and envisioned since I heard the name!

Actually, guys, we're not so sure. it could have been a predator trap. With individuals going to the same spot and getting sucked into the quick sand.

No, they would try to avoid each other normally and thus is no exceptio.

Show me a live Utahraptor pride and a study on their behavior. Then we'll talk If lions are cannibals, so could be Utahraptor.

^^ how accurate is that? many large reptiles are gregarious and often group in large numbers. same goes for birds -- particularly of the  raptorial variety. even if utahraptors aren't cooperatively hunting i think it's a far stretch to state they'd just avoid each other.

Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.

The comments in the article on the build of Utahraptor's body was also interesting. PK, know anything about their build?

TK, my point isn't mass-cannibalism. You are stating it as a fact, when it's highly possible they were trying to cannibalize each other. So don't go around saying "first conclusions are obvious facts." They could be a family group, but they could be a cannibalistic loner-stock pile. That's what the osteogeneticists will uncover. (They will try and determine if they are related through the bones.)

 

@ Noah, Yes! They were very heavily built. Pretty stocky, but with longer legs than average for such a build. they have tremendously large eye sockets and olfactory bulbs, so we know they relied on sight and scent more than hearing. Also, their skull was long and yet sort of tall. Ironically, it reminded me of the JP Velociraptors. :?

you say your point isn't to state mass cannibilism but that is exactly what you are doin.

Btw, we have no evidence of feathers. the preservation is extremely good, so we expect to see skin imprints. In fact, I believe I have seen indicators of small pebbly scales. :/
