From the rock
Utahraptor is the largest known dromaeosaur.
Velociraptor also belongs to this group. Since 2018 Utahraptor has been the official state dinosaur of Utah.
No human has ever seen this animal alive: the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago, and the human genus has existed for about 2.8 million years.
