The fact that this creature never existed depresses me, what with their real life versions being glorified vultures. Yes, I know there were bigger dromaeosaurs like Utahraptors but they're too reminiscent of modern birds. I just hope that a billionaire would clone Jurassic Park raptors some time in the future. A world without 60mph bipedal warm-blooded komodo dragons with sickle claws and jumping power is a poor world, I would say.
What's wrong with other theropods like Herrerasaurus? Or is the toe claw that important?
Like, the entire point of dromaeosaurs is that they're super bird like, so wanting a not bird like dromaeosaur seems kinda backwards.
Don't worry, most dinosaurs didn't really exist. Many of them are only known from a single bone, and don't even get me started on feathers. Just more nonsense to drive away from the truth of God's creation.

Why even live
There is no difference between hair and fur retard, it's the same thing. The term hair and fur is inconsistent and only really refers to the density of the pelt.
We have hair too retard. Our bodies are still fully covered in hair btw but most of it are very small hairs. The only parts of our bodies that isn't covered with hair are our palms, soles of our feet, and our lips.
Hair, which you're absolutely covered with too.
This very creature existed except it had flight feathers on its arms.
There were some theropods which looked similar to the Jurassic Park raptors; that is, they were of a similar size and didn't (or at least haven't yet been proven to) have feathers, an example being the Neovenator
i thought that was a dilophosaurus for a second
You just have to go further back in time. There were plenty of carnivores the size of the JP raptors running around in the Jurassic and even Triassic periods that were likely feather-free.
>yet another dinoretard thread
At this point Paleontology and Archaeology deserve there own containment board.
Pretty sure 90% of that board would be schizo ranting about how Chinese are adding feathers to dinosaurs to turn American youth into gay trannies.
You still have early medium sized dinosaurs like Herrerasaurus.
I guess... though I still miss those sickle claws.
There is no evidence for utahraptor having feathers. Just half assed guesses at a family tree that gives it a feathered distant cousin.
What's the argument for why it should not have feathers?
whats the argument it should have feathers?
Every other animal in its lineage had them.
so what if every other animal does, thats not evidence, thats just correlation
just like every other animal in the primate lineage has hair all over its body, but it doesnt mean that humans have that much body hair
or how whales are ungulates, but doesnt mean they have hooves
or how not all wasps live in hives, or bees for that matter
or how every other hermit crab has gills except for coconut crabs
or how zebras have strips when every other horse in its lineage didnt
Yeah sure this just happens to be the one exception despite how astronomically unlikely that is because you really like a movie
i dont see how a movie that lives rent free in your head applies to anything when youre being asked to provide evidence to the affirmation this particular dinosaur had feathers and not its relatives
Humans have the same hair count as gorillas. It's just not as tick or long most of the time.
The fossil record is always going to be incomplete but who knows what we will find. Back in the 90s was the first time feathers were found on a dinosaur and it took many years and finding more feathers to validate the first discovery.
Hell it's still a new discovery to be able to recognize pigments.
Most of these are pretty terrible comparisons. There is not one social bee species among all the others being solitary. A striped pattern on a zebra is not comparable to something as major as feathers, were talking colour vs a structural feature. Whales don’t have hooves but they’re far more derived from terrestrial ungulates than utahraptor is from other raptors. Humans don’t have as much hair as other primates, but we still have hair
Bitch we have the exact same amount of hair as any primate. Our difference is that ours aren't as thick or long as other primate.
>just like every other animal in the primate lineage has hair all over its body, but it doesnt mean that humans have that much body hair
speak for yourself fucking bald twink
I've never seen one with feathers.
Microraptor isn't a distant relative.
Fun fact. The Utah raptor was discovered while they were wrapping up production on the movie and Spielberg had a sigh of relief because he knew they made the raptors bigger than they were for dramatic purposes, but at least now they weren't completely full of shit.
