The Therizinosaurus lady! These HERBIVORES are quite interesting. Giant chickens perhaps? see some facts below
Therizinosaurus had the longest claws of any land animal, reaching up to 1 meter (3 ft) long.
It lived about 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous.
Despite the terrifying claws, it was mostly herbivorous and used them to pull down branches.
It reached around 10 meters (33 ft) in length and stood 5 meters (16 ft) tall.
Fossils were found in Mongolia, in lush, forested environments.
Its name means “Scythe Lizard” because of those giant curved claws.
It walked on two legs and belonged to a strange group of plant‑eating theropods.
Scientists think it had feathers, based on its close relatives.
No complete skull has ever been found, so its exact face shape is still unknown.
The claws may have been used for defense, mating displays, or pulling vegetation — maybe all three.
