CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 4:05 PMI was inspired by Sci-Fi's recent post. So, what are your favorite raptors? Me, I like Deinonychus the best(favorite raptor and 5th favorite dinosaur). It looked cool and it was the perfect size. It was the perfect size for taking on almost anything(3-4 meters long and 150-250 pounds). Deinoychus was smart, fast(45 mph), and a efficient pack hunter. But that's just my favorite. What about all of you?

AllosaurusMember4297 XPOct-11-2014 4:10 PMI like Utahraptor. It's my favorite raptor and my favorite dinosaur.

CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 4:23 PMThen this is for you Sci-Fi...
Tyrannosaurus RexMember6270 XPOct-11-2014 4:28 PMGotta say Utahraptor. Don't know why, it just is. It's big, but it's fast and agile at the same time.
Jack of all trades. Master of none
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 4:33 PMCool. My second favorite raptor is Pyroraptor(2-2.5 meters long and 100-150 pounds). Got a cool name and I loved Pod in Dinosaur Planet(same show that introduced me to Tarascosaurus, Aucasaurus, and Daspletosaurus, which are also some of my favorite dinosaurs)...
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 4:42 PMI love utahraptor,I love all dromeosaurids in general. it is tied for my second favorite dinosaur along eith allosaurus.
utahraptor is just big,muscular, powerful,quick,agile, and certainly deadly. It was the whole predator package. It is huge at 7 meters long and 1600 pounds. Now that is more then a match for a human or most other carnivores in his size range. I just live utahraptor!
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 4:44 PMI can see that, haha ;)
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 5:19 PMhmm... that'd have to be austroraptor, just because how specialized in regards to morphology it is, not to mention it's huge! ~20 feet long, 700 pounds (~6.3 meters, 300 kg)Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 5:24 PM* whispers quitley to himself* well utahraptor is bigger.
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 5:29 PMhaha, well yes Utahraptor is more robust in proportions, and was overall a probably more lethal animal. austroraptor was rather specialized to hunt small animals, medium sized herbivorous dinosNature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
Tyrannosaurus RexMember5639 XPOct-11-2014 6:32 PMREX FAN 684 - Hmm, this is a very interesting topic! I'd have to say my favorite "raptor" is either the deinonychus or the Utahraptor. Both were incredibly amazing and agile animals - perfectly suited to the niche within which they arose! :)
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 6:33 PMCool :)
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 7:09 PMUtahraptor, why? Because its a >20 ft hypercarnivore

TriceratopsMember204 XPOct-11-2014 7:43 PMUtahraptor by a longshot! It not only combined the usual traits of agility, speed, and intelligence of other raptors, but it had the size and strength that put it well ahead of other dromaeosaurs. It was the T.rex of raptors!
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 8:46 PMUtahraptor, mostly definitely. His is the biggest Raptor and looks closest to the Raptors in Jurassic Park.

CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-11-2014 8:51 PMAs many of you know, Utahraptor is my favorite dinosaur, so naturally I I have to go with it. Going with raptors, next will be Balaur, but if we include Troodonts (or hypothetical Troodonts) then Bradycneme takes the cake at my fourth favorite dinosar f all times.
Hi
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-12-2014 8:38 PMvelociraptor, (or bambiraptor) They're lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal. I've hunted most things that can hunt you, but the way these things move...
"That is one big pile of sh*t" -Doctor Ian Malcom
My favorite raptor has to be the Utahraptor. Why? Let's see. Their raptors. They have giant claws. They're quite large for a raptor. They're American. Murica.
AllosaurusMember3811 XPOct-13-2014 6:55 AMDromeosaurus, gotta love the entire genus of Raptors they were such a important part of the Dinosaur's era you cant just pick one.
Good grief.
I just did GorillaGodzilla. :D. Also that drawing made by DinoSteve, it is actually planned for Prehistoric Kingdom. Just changed in some ways. I should now. He showed me. :P
CompsognathusMember0 XPOct-13-2014 10:53 PMVelociraptor, with Utahraptor in 2nd :P

CompsognathusMember67 XPFeb-15-2015 2:02 PMutahraptor by far. nature combines strength, speed, intelligence, extreme senses, agility, pack hunting and overall power into one deadly creature. Not to mention the curved and extremely lethal foot-long sickle claws.
