Utahraptor is the biggest dromaeosaur cloned by inGen. A holf ton,7 metre long killing machine, utahraptor is one of the most fearsome hunters ever created by inGen. Originally cloned to be put on display for the first park, the animals was present in the first park but only 2 of them were old and big enough to be moved to Nublar and the majority of the animals lived on Isla Sorna  and site E also has a pack of these animals.   Utahraptor is extremely dangerous, of all the nautral non hybrid raptors, it is the most aggressive one and also the strongest. The first cloned utahraptors lacked feathers due to a defect in their genes and the use f frog dna. Newly bred utahraptors have their genetic code filed up with bird dna, mainly vulture dna  which resulted in the animals regrowing their feathers like their smaller cousins. Utahraptor is the tiger of dromaeosaurs, mainly because its colouration. Females are orange wit black stripes while the males are a more darker brown with blakc stripes. Their head and necks are unfeathered like a vulture and their arm feathers are proportionally smaller than in other smaller dromaeosaurs. Their colouration is very similar to deinonychus, however utahraptors are duble the size of their smaller cousin. Utahraptor form packs but very small ones, the packs dont usually consist of more than 6 individuals. Utahraptors were feared among keepers; they were some of the most difficult animals to handle, causing so much problems that Muldoon wanted them terminated completely from the tour. Hammond however found them way too precious  and so they were put on Nublar. Utahraptors paddock was next t the carnotaurus paddock and the utahraptors never ventured near that border. Isla sorna also has some male individuals of this species . Both sexes have the same size. In packs, the male are the leaders. They are very territorial animals and on Sorna it has been reported that they will attack other raptor packs that enter their territory. The hybrid Velociraptor antirrhopus sornaensis strongly avoid utahraptor areas. Fortunately for the hybrid raptors, there arent many utahraptors  on Isla Sorna since there were never that much animals bred. Interestingly enough, the Sorna Utahraptors also have feathers despite they stem from the animals without feathers. The new park, Jurassic paradise also has utahraptors, although they are not at public display. 3 of them have been chosen to be trained (or at least try to be trained). Initially this failed hard and almsot cost a keeper his life.  These raptors were deemed untrainable and are officially "held in storage" which means that they will not be included in the security program but will get their own paddock in  the future so utahraptor can go n public display. However inGen still needed a good security program ,especially after the 2015 incident which showed that a single ACU wasnt enough to recapture the hybrid known as Indominus rex which cost several peoples lifes.  After a long discussion at inGen what to do and after going through several possibilities including using the tyrannosaur alioramus  for that duty(which was dismissed as alioramus are known to get into a feeding frenzy )  it was decided to try and hire Owen Grady, a professional keeper who had experience in raptor training in Jurassic World, to try and help training raptors again. It took a while and the officials did have to promise not to try using these utahraptors for military experiments or such and of  course it took a good amount of money to convince him  but eventually he gave in. In an interview where he was asked why he decided to go back to raptor training he answered that he actually enjoyed training with raptors and if he wouldnt do it, then probably noone would be able to do so. To train the raptors , Grady needed new raptors since he needed Raptor chicks to train them as early as possible and because older utahraptors are untrainable. Grady said that the utahraptors need to be trained at very young age so that they accept their human trainer as the pack leader since this was also the way he trained his raptors in Jurassic World. Therefore 3 additionaly Utahraptors were cloned, 1 male and 2 females. Training started early and  the raptor trio quickly accepted grady as their "father" and pack leader and soon, they followed his command. Grady noted that the utahraptors mounted the same high amount of intelligence as the raptors he first trained. . However the raptors grew quickly and Grady noted that they became  more difficult to handle  . From early on, Grady also brought other keepers to the training to accustom the utahraptors to humans and potentional future trainers. Indeed   Grady also taught other keepers how to train raptors , because grady wouldnt work forever in the park . Grady found it very important to "trust  and respect the animals. At 5 years old, the utahraptors were already grown to full size and by then had a very large amount of training. Grad yalso decided to give the raptors names during the training so that he could individually call them. The male raptor  is named Dalton while the younger female(the one in fron of Owen) is named Lucy and the older females name is Omega. Dalton is the beta animal while Omega is the oldest member of the trio.  In the early stages of the training it was briefly considered to recapture Blue, the only surviving raptor from Owens original raptor pack  from Nublar and bring her to Jurassic paradise to act like some sort of "adoptive parent" for the 3 utahraptor chicks so that they learn from one of their own kind  but Grady rejected this as Blue was now living in the wild and probably already forgot about most of her training . He also found it too risky because Blue is a hybrid raptor and not a true utahraptor. He also didnt want to get Blue under stress by recapturing her . The utahraptors are now a very forceful part of the Security system of jurassic paradise and are tasked with tracking and hunting down  escaped aniamls on the main island. Their power and agility as well as their high intelligence are ideal for that. The first true mission for the Raptor pack came in 2020 when 2 Monolophosaurus esaped from their pen. The utahraptor task force managed to successfully track down and encircle the escaped aniamls  before they were sedated and put back into their enclosure. This mission was under the surveilance of Grady but in the future this can also be done by 3 other keepers who were specially taught by grady about handling the utahraptors. Although he doesnt have a full time job in jurassic paradise, Grady occasionally visits to check on the raptors and monitor their progress in their training as well as assisting the ther keepers from time to time. He has become one of the most important advisors in Jurassic Paradise, especially concerning safety and dinosaur handling. The Utahraptors have since been joined by a pack of Inostrancevias that account for special operations on the second smaller island of jurassic paradise. However  it was found important that the two species never interact with each other since they dont know what they are facing should they erv see each other. This is why the utahraptors are only "used" on the main island while the inostrancevias are only deployed on the second island where there are more animals from their time period.

Utah raptors look too big to be the raptors in Jurassic World and Jurassic Park series. Achilllobators or a large Deinonychus is the right size dromaeosaur to be the raptor's in Jurassic Park.
