The Bissekty Giant: When Raptors Ruled Over Tyrannosaurs
The biggest dromaeosaur (raptor) dinosaur may have been a fragmentary giant from the Bissekty Formation in Uzbekistan. This gigantic relative of Achillobator and Utahraptor is known from a pedal phalanx and a maxilla, and would have weighed between 900 and 1200 kilograms. While Velociraptor was smaller in real life than its depiction in Jurassic Park, Utahraptor was bigger than the JP raptors and the Bissekty Giant was much, much bigger.
