Predatory (9)

I think it could be either:

raptorial

rapacious

'predatory' is the definition.
(I know that predatory can be written as rapacious)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rapacious that I've seen before include "Aggressively predatory" , "Marauding, avaricious" , "Extortionate" , "Greedy and grasping" , "wanting more" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
