Utahraptors were about the size of modern polar bears. I'd bet on the elephant.

Elephant, but he's not getting away without potentially mortal wounds.

Raptor would probably jump on it and disembowel it with the talons, few good slices from the talons and it would just have to follow and wait for it to bleed out.

Y'all need to learn about muscle and bone density.
An elephant would stomp that thing. Elephant hide is extremely tough as well. |

Elephant. It's what's for dinner! The raptor would have it half eaten before it even died.

I vote Utahraptor. IIRC they're like 6ft tall, 22ft long, and a half ton, not to mention it's great agility, so that qualifies as a "bad mother fucker" in my book. The elephant has size, strength, and bone density but it's ungodly slow in comparison. Once the raptor got past the head, it's done for

Yep. Warm-blooded and quicker than you can believe, too. If the raptor did an ambush and managed to take out a hamstring before the elephant knew he was there, that would change the outcome. Otherwise, it's Tyson against Lee all over again. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Curtis Mamoth, "Archie" a fossil specimen at Nebraska Morril Hall, would be closer in time to your raptor. Google the pix and tell me if you change your mind.

Yeah, cause elephants do not know how to roll over and do not have a grasping trunk. I predict utah raptor is smart enough to run away. If not, it gets ground to dust under elephant's feet. |

The Utah Raptors are a minor league baseball team in Ogden. They might have enough guys to take down a mammoth. They might have to improvise some bows and spears because a Louisville Slugger won't cut it.

Bull African Elephant and it's not even fucking close.
Look at what a single lion or tiger does when there's a bull elephant around. It gets the fuck out of the way. Utah Raptor is bigger than a Lion but it's similar business. Also, the Raptors were group hunters (if the documentary I watched called "Jurassic Park" is accurate, so a single Raptor would especially GTFO. |
