When hiding from a Utahraptor, one small movement could blow our Gastonia's cover.

The ferocious Utahraptor is finely tuned for hunting prey. Their sharp raptor claws, speed and ability to work as a group are a terrifying and lethal combination, which could prove fatal for young Gastonia. The only way for prey to survive is by staying completely still and remaining undetected – not easy when your tail is covered in armor.
