Utahraptor was a robust and fast predator, known for fast movement and 25-40 cm middle finger claws. Based on the body shape and the fact that it usually walked on two feet, this dinosaur reminded a bird. Being rather small, utahraptors used to hunt in packs. The long and sharp claws made it very easy for utahraptors to tear their victims apart.
