Some of my opinions about this video: 1. Initially thought to be a foot claw from a large Dromaeosaur, it later turns out that the huge claw of Megaraptor is actually attached with its arms. 2. Later examination shows that Megaraptor is closely related to some little-known predators such as Australovenator (from Australia, previously known as a "dwarf Allosaur" in BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs series) and Murusraptor (from Patagonia, discovered in 2016). In fact, so far paleontologists know little about these dinosaurs (clade Megaraptora) due to the discoveries of a handful of fragmentary fossilized remains. 3. In the case we talk about over-sized Dromaeosaurs in movies (such as Jurassic Park), in reality most of them are generally no larger than an average-sized domestic dog. For instance, Deinonychus (3 m in length, weighing about 70 kg) is slightly larger than a dingo, while Velociraptor (1.6 m in length, weighing about 19 kg) is no bigger than a turkey. The smallest Dromaeosaur species is the 4-winged Microraptor (77 cm in length, weighing less than 1 kg) which is merely the size of a pigeon. 4. However, some Dromaeosaurs can reach even larger size. Utahraptor can reach a maximum size of 7 meters long, 2 meters tall, and weighing 500 kg (roughly the size of a Kodiak bear).
Natural History Central actually you are baked other than height and snout shape and the lack of feathers and broken wrists this is actually a serviceable deinonychus.
Megaraptor wasn' t a dromaeosaurid !

Regardless of what type of Raptor is was, we can all agree it is NOT a velociraptor.
Megaraptor wasn't a dromeosaurid
Megaraptor is not a raptor!
At the time we didn't know was it a raptor or not
That was a hand claw of megaraptor, which was either related to allosaurus or spinosaurids
Well, I don't think anyone really knows, but it definitely is a possibility.
Should've shown the claw of Utahraptor
It was a neovenatorid
Yeah, that claw is actually from the Megaraptor's hand.
tscream80 cut him some slack, I'm pretty sure this is from before we knew that.
Question: Could big theropods like Giganotosaurus make loud low pitched bird-like screeching sounds.
Nice vid btw.
Or An Ostrich/ Cassowary
The primeval wiki says that the raptors are dynoicus which is about the right size for the one in the show
It doesn't have the killing claw
the heck u mean it doesn't?
Jonny Sarbacher the wiki says that's just the most likely candidate, but that we don't know the species.

I think raptor in primeval is dromaeosaurus
