Today's drawing is of a Utahraptor father and his offspring. 

Utahraptor teaching Offspring to Hunt

Utahraptor was a bigger-than-you-think predatory dinosaur.  They were around 16-23 feet long.  An adult Utahraptor weighed around 700 to 2,200 lbs.  It almost certainly had feathers.  Here we see a Utahraptor with his offspring during a hunting lesson. It was a raptor dinosaur so it had a large claw on the first toe of each foot.  This was a killing claw that now is thought to have probably been used as a stabbing weapon.  

The offspring, following his or her father, is a juvenile Utahraptor.  It so happens that this juvenile Utahraptor is about the same size as Velociraptor.  Velociraptor was about 5 to almost 7 feet long.  Much of that length was a long thin tail.  It may have weighed up to 100 pounds.  That made the Velociraptor around 22 times smaller than a large Utahraptor.
