Utahraptor was one of the largest raptor dinosaurs, reaching lengths of over 20 feet and weighing around 1,000 pounds. While it was a formidable predator, there were other raptor species, such as Deinonychus and Velociraptor, that were also strong and well-adapted.
Scientists don't know the colors of raptor dinosaurs. Thus, we don't know whether the juveniles even had different colors than the adults.
