New Raptor Fossils
Fossils from the six-foot long Talos Samposonsi who lived approximately 75 million years before out time in Utah area reveal new information about Raptor Dinosaurs.
New founding strengthened the theory that the raptor dinosaur carried its giant toe off the ground, which explains why raptor tracks lack claw marks.
Most likely, the dinosaur used its claw to pin down small animals and slash bigger prey.
Further more, analysis of this new fossil suggests that the raptor was an omnivore.
With an injured claw it was unable to hunt and had to eat plants and other food in other to survive while healing. Its teeth also revel structure of those found in plant eating reptiles.
However, the scientists insist, the true behavior of this animal with always remain controversial and new evidence can only help us make better hypothesis.

ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to see that you wrote about dinosaurs because I find them very interesting. I especially like the large dinosaurs with big claws and teeth. I think I read somewhere before that raptors used to hunt in groups because then they were stronger. Nice blog!
