Utahraptors stayed on the migration routes of the herbivores, lying in wait for their unsuspected prey.

犹他盗龙埋伏在植食动物迁徙的必经之路上,躺着等它未知的猎物。
Utahraptor may have been more of an ambush predator.
犹他盗龙可能更像是伏击性掠食者。
In other words, we might say that a Velociraptor was a cheetah running things down, that Utahraptor may have been the equivalent of a lion in the sense that it may have laid and waited for prey and with a quick, short burst of speed, take in something, but it wasn't an animal that probably runs things down over a long distance.
换一句话说的话,我们可能会说伶盗龙像猎豹一样奔袭猎物,而犹他盗龙可能更像狮子会埋伏起来等待猎物靠迅速的短距离冲刺来捕获猎物,但它可能并不会依靠长距离奔跑来狩猎。

They would rely more on agility and cunning than brute strength and they would render the Utahraptor obsolete.
