The Mystery of the Megaraptors-by Ben G Thomas

Ben G Thomas has done it again making an excellent video on YouTube all about the history of the mystery of Mega Raptors of the mysterious lineage that is looking extraordinary every single discovery. And this video makes me want even more species from this group to be included into the game of Jurassic world Evolution 2.

These two in particular one of the largest Mega Raptors ever discovered and one of the smallest.😏

I like your suggestions. Some other ones that could work include:
Orkoraptor, a genus of medium-sized megaraptoran theropod dinosaur from the late Cretaceous Period of Argentina. It is known from incomplete fossil remains including parts of the skull, teeth, tail vertebrae, and a partial tibia. It was found in the Cerro Fortaleza Formation of Southern Patagonia. It is one of the southernmost carnivorous dinosaurs known from South America. It grew to be around 6 meters (20 ft.) long and weighing 500 kilograms (1,100 lb.). The name Orkoraptor means "Toothed River thief", and was derived from the Aoniken "Orr-Korr", the local name for the La Leona River, located near the original fossil site. The species name honors Coleman Burke, an amateur paleontologist who supported the expedition that collected the original fossils.

Aerosteon, a genus of megaraptoran dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period of Argentina. Its remains were discovered in 1996 in the Anacleto Formation, which is from the late Campanian. Their fossils show evidence of a bird-like respiratory system. It is estimated to have grown between 6 meters (20 ft) and 10 meters (33 ft.) and weighed between 500 kilograms (1,100 lb) and 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons). Aerosteon's name can be translated as air bone and derives from Greek ἀήρ (aer, "air") and ὀστέον (osteon, "bone"). Its specific name indicates that its remains were found 1 km (0.6 miles) north of the Río Colorado, in Mendoza Province, Argentina.

Tratayenia, an extinct genus of megaraptoran theropod dinosaurs that lived during the late Cretaceous period whose remains were found in the Bajo de la Carpa Formation of Argentina. It grew to be around 8 meters (26 ft.) long. Tratayenia is one of the youngest known genera of megaraptorans, having lived only about 83 million years ago. Tratayenia is also the largest-bodied carnivorous animal named from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation, reinforcing the hypothesis that megaraptorids were apex predators in southern South America from the Turonian through the Santonian or early Campanian, following the extinction of carcharodontosaurids.
