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 got his shit pushed in by Gwangi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A6tNff9y98

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

We talking one on one, or what would be most likely to occur, 3 or 4 Raptors on a possibly weak bull elephant?

Elephant. He's bigger, tougher, and has long tusks. Plus, the elephant knows how to rope-a-dope.

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Utahraptor would ask if the elephant has a moment to talk about Jesus, but then when the elephant tries to shut the door SURPRISE TALON ATTACK

We can compare an alligator though...and it probably moved at some speed closer to an alligator than an elephant. |

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.

Raptor is a professional killer with razorblades on all four corners. Elephant is a fucking vegetarian. |

Raptor. It can jump on the elephant's back and the elephant can't do shit while it slashes away with its toe claws.

View Quote 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.

I'm gonna go split decision 60/40 for the elephant. I could see a lot of early KOs for that pokey ass bird. That said they'll be a few bloody deaths for the elephant. |

mass is very hard to beat. I'll take elephant bones and leather hide over bird bones and fragile construction any day.
pack of raptors? Bet's off. |

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. |

Elephant stomp.
i see the raptors potential but I do not imagine it acts with the sort of boldness that would be required to not get stomped and kill the elephant. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

We all learned the Raptor was a highly intelligent pack animal from Jurassic Park. A group of them would definitely be able to take down an elephant, single probably not. |
