Birth
Utahraptor pups will emerge from their eggs and will begin to vocalize for their mothers so that their needs may be met. Pups are not able to walk as easily as juvenile Utahraptors can and will let their legs grow while in their nest. Utahraptor fathers are not introduced to their offspring until juvenile stage.
Juvenile
Once pups grow into juveniles their mothers will bring them over to their father's and they will become familiar with their smells. They will also begin to explore the possibilities of life and play as well. The parents will also teach them how to hunt smaller prey. They also may test other raptors to see where they are ranked in the pack.
Courtship
Utahraptors will usually become more active in their patrolling when they all agree to settle and nest. Courting rituals are seen happening at day in large groups and are mainly strutting, showing off, and broadcasting. As it becomes near afternoon, the females will go up to the males they like the most. If there is more than one female picking a male, a hurdle will commence. This is usually ending up with a few bits before the most injured Utahraptor will surrender.
Parental Hood
Females will keep their eggs warm, while Males spend their time chasing trespassers away from his mates nest, females will keep the eggs warm unless she needs food, otherwise her mate will take over.

Hierarchy Strongest Female & Male
Pack Mentality
Utahraptors always follow the strongest female and male in the pack. Disputes for this role are common but rarely does it change. They are afraid to challenge because they fear being exiled from the pack. A task that the leaders must do is that they will determine territories and where the entire pack goes. If one of the leaders die, the next strongest steps up and their partner will challenge the other gender for their role Some members may be picked specially from the leaders to carry certain tasks and uphold a title.
