Today were digging in the past with the Wolf Den and doing some research on dinosaurs.  Living in Utah, we hear and see a great deal about the Utah Raptor.  After driving past a billboard dedicated to this creature who walked the earth millions of years ago, I decided to look the beast up.

Some fun facts about the Utah Raptor:

• First found in 1975 in Moab, UT
• More discoveries in 1991 (around the time the movie Jurassic Park came out in 1993)
• One of the largest raptors that ever lived (ten times larger than Velociraptor)
• Weighed as much as a polar bear
• Could jump 15 feet
• Could run at speeds of over 20mph
• Lived 125 million years ago
• 25 feet long from head to tail
• genus of theropod dinosaurs
