I can think of some more recent 'meat-eating raptor dinosaurs' that live in 
Patagonia. The black-
chested buzzard eagle (Geranoaetus melanoleucus) comes to mind.

It's time to rise up and reclaim the word 'raptor', I tells ya. And why stop 
there? Maybe one day we 
can live in a world where a 'gay lesbian raptor' is a happy bird of prey from 
the island of Lesbos, 
and where decimating their population means reducing it's numbers by only 10%.
