Basically a match between two vicious carnivores from some great hollywood movies.
What are your opinions on who will be victorious.
The Velociraptor in Jurassic Park was half the size of a human. You mean the Utahraptor.
The Xenomorph had the strength of about 5 Gorilla’s, because it would take that much strength to crush a skull by squeezing it, which was what Alien did with Bret. The Alien beats the Utahraptor in strength.
Raptor’s, and many other carnivores at that time used their tails for balance, not weapons, the Alien use it’s tail as a weapon, the Utahraptor would have to turn it’s whole body to whip the Alien, but the Alien wouldn’t have to do the same for the Utahraptor.
The Utahraptor could
not survive a direct hit from the Alien’s double jaw.
The main natural defense of a Utahraptor is it’s strong legs combined with it’s specialized toe-claws,

The Aliens main weapon is acidic blood the likes of which could kill any animal to ever walk the earth, say a T-Rex started feasting on the Alien, it would die in a matter of seconds from the thousands of pounds of acidic blood that can melt through titanium decks on a space craft!!!
