Fear the Uber-Raptor!

31-08-2010 1:42am#1A completely new kind of 'raptor' dinosaur has been described which has 20 anotomical features that make it unique among it's ilk. It was seven feet long, much stockier than it's famous relative Velociraptor and had fused foot bones which would have reduced overall speed, but added stabilty. Most fearful of all however, on each foot it had not one, but two of the famous sickle shaped killing claws for maximum killing power!
It's scientific name is Balaur bondoc (meaning 'stocky dragon'), but I think the Uber-raptor might be more appropriate...
More information here.
What has been found this far (sadly, no head):
Close up of leg (including 'double claws'):

So let me get this straight:
First we were shown Velociraptors and how absolutely amazing they were by
watching every Jurassic Park, buying all the toys, playing games of being
Velociraptors and T-Rex's etc...
Then we were told that Velociraptors actually had feathers
Then we were told Velociraptors were tiny.
Now we're told Velociraptors were also big, uberly so?
I just need to know, is this new one still able to open doors?
it's kind of a personal question...

This new creature isn't a Velociraptor. It is related to it though. Velociraptor is still small and sleek.sponsoredwalk wrote:I just need to know, is this new one still able to open doors?
