Utahraptor is a member of the family Dromaeosauridae, a clade of theropod dinosaurs commonly known as "raptors". Utahraptor is the largest known genus in the family and belongs to the same clade of other notable dinosaurs such as Velociraptor , Deinonychus , or Dromaeosaurus .
The closest is the Dinosaur Genera List, compiled by biological nomenclature expert George Olshevsky, which was first published online in 1995 and was regularly updated until June 2021. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The most authoritative general source in the field is the second (2004) edition of The Dinosauria .
Since Velociraptor was the first to be named, these species were renamed Velociraptor antirrhopus and V. langstoni. [22] As of 2008, the only currently recognized species of Velociraptor are V. mongoliensis [14] [37] [38] and V. osmolskae. [15] However, several studies have found "V." osmolskae to be distantly related to V. mongoliensis. [39] [40]
North American herbivorous dinosaurs from this time period include the titanosaur sauropod Alamosaurus, the ceratopsians Bravoceratops, Regaliceratops, Triceratops, Leptoceratops, Torosaurus, Nedoceratops, Tatankaceratops (the latter two possible species of Triceratops), and Ojoceratops, the pachycephalosaurs Pachycephalosaurus, Stygimoloch ...

Microraptor (Greek, μικρός, mīkros: "small"; Latin, raptor: "one who seizes") is a genus of small, four-winged dromaeosaurid dinosaurs. Numerous well-preserved fossil specimens have been recovered from Liaoning, China. They date from the early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation (Aptian stage), 125 to 120 million years ago.
As a result, they portrayed the film's dinosaurs with the size, proportions, and snout shape of Deinonychus. [2] The 20-foot-long (6.1 m) Utahraptor is commonly considered to be a close match to the film's dinosaurs, which are much larger than either Deinonychus or Velociraptor were in life. [82] [83]
