The Utahraptor's teeth were small, but very sharp.
猶他盜龍的牙齒較小，但很鋒利。
They were not long enough to be effective through armor, they were designed for tearing and chewing prey more than attacking.
它們不夠長(zhǎng)，不能切透鎧甲，它們的功能是撕扯和咀嚼獵物而不是攻擊。
The teeth of Utahraptor were ideal for slicing meat, but there is no way they could hold up against the body armor of Gastonia.
猶他盜龍的牙齒非常適合切肉，但絕沒(méi)法對(duì)付加斯頓龍的全身鎧甲。
So it makes sense that if Utahraptor decided to attack a Gastonia, we would expect to find broken raptor teeth.
所以也有道理，如果猶他盜龍決定要攻擊加斯頓龍，我們就能期望扎到斷落的迅猛龍牙齒。
Utahraptor had three major advantages.
猶他盜龍有三個(gè)主要優(yōu)勢(shì)。
The most important was its large brain, which was as sharp as its super-slasher claws.
最重要的是它大腦，這個(gè)武器跟超級(jí)砍殺爪一樣犀利。
CT scanning revealed a higher than average intellect.
CT掃描表明這種恐龍智力不同尋常。
We do CAT scan of Raptor skulls.
我們對(duì)迅猛龍顱骨進(jìn)行CAT掃描。
We can see that these Raptors like Utahraptor had really fairly expanded brains.
我們能看見(jiàn)像猶他盜龍這樣的迅猛龍有相當(dāng)膨脹的腦部。
Expansions of the higher centers of the brain, the parts of the brain that are associated with maybe even some cognitive capabilities - the abilities to solve problems.
我們看到腦部的高級(jí)功能區(qū)的擴(kuò)大，這部分的大腦可能與認(rèn)知能力有關(guān)，就是解決問(wèn)題的能力。
These guys had a pretty doggone advanced brain. very much like living birds of today, very smart smart animals.
這些家伙有跟狗非常像的先進(jìn)大腦，跟如今的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)非常相似，它們是很聰明的動(dòng)物。
Don't mess with the Raptor, you're gonna lose.
別去惹迅猛龍，你會(huì)輸。
The second was remarkable vision.
第二就是它出色的視力。
With its height and incredibly sharp eyesight, this raptor had a commanding view of everything within its location.
有了身高和敏銳的視覺(jué)，在它位置里的每件東西都逃不過(guò)它的雙眼。
And we also see expansion of the visual centers of the brain that actually become apparent suggesting that vision is becoming increasingly important for these raptors like Utahraptor.
我們也看到它腦部的視覺(jué)中樞的膨大，顯然表明視覺(jué)對(duì)猶他盜龍這樣的迅猛龍變得愈發(fā)重要。
One distinctive characteristic that all members of the raptor family share is remarkable vision.
迅猛龍家族的所有成員都有一個(gè)共同特點(diǎn)就是出色的視覺(jué)。
Utahraptor was no different.
猶他盜龍也不例外。
Having good vision is clearly the mark of a chase-you-down-and-kill-you sort of predator.
有好的視覺(jué)明顯是追上去殺你沒(méi)商量型掠食者的標(biāo)志。
They had the eyesight of an eagle.
它們的視力和鷹的一樣好。
What's interesting is that we can actually look at their inner ear and see many of those same features that we see in birds in their inner ear suggesting that these animals also used very rapid, quick turning movements of the head and they were highly coordinated.
有趣的事情是我們能看到它的內(nèi)耳，里面的很多特點(diǎn)和我們看到的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)內(nèi)耳一樣，這表明這些動(dòng)物頭部也會(huì)快速移動(dòng)和旋轉(zhuǎn)而且它們協(xié)調(diào)性很好。
So they could turn their eyes and their head and their neck very rapidly and at the same time keeping their gaze fixed on a target.
所以它們能夠快速轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)眼睛、頭部和頸部，而且同時(shí)目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地盯住目標(biāo)。
