Therizinosaurus was one of the most fascinating theropod dinosaurs ever discovered, with claws longer than your arm, though it is not a carnivorous Dinosaur. It might not be as exciting as the T-rex or spinosaurus, but as we learn more about this giant dinosaur, it get more and more facinating.
We classify Therizinosaurus as a theropod dinosaur, part of the Maniraptora clade, this includes raptors, bird-like dinos, and even modern birds.
Therizinosaurus Fossils date back over 70 million years ago, and were first discovered in the 1940s. The largest claw measured over 1 meter (3.2 feet) in length, earning it the title of “the longest claws of all time.”
Palaeontologists for decades, the claws of Therizinosaurus dominated the conversation. studies suggest that its claws were relatively delicate and not well-suited to forceful actions like digging, piercing, or heavy pulling. Many researchers now think that Therizinosaurus was a highly territorial and potentially aggressive animal—similar to large herbivores today
