Favorite prehistoric animal:therizinasosaurus

Time:early Cretaceous i think

Food:no one knows yet

 

Its from the Creataceous period,And INO ALOT about that thing,Lets see.

Ate Leaves, Bannas(Basicly fruit) Plants Trees and Meat(Including fish)

This isnt Newly discoverd dino.its been around for atleast a century.But anyways,I hope that you will learn alot more here

[The_Prince_of_Death]

hmm. I need to look for all of my dinosaur info someday. lol. I do remember some facts about the

therizinasosaurus. too bad raptorwolf already said everything I could remember.

[~Shore]

I thought it was theraginosaurus, but I may have heard wrong. I think I saw it in "Chased By Dinosaurs" with Nigel Marvin. A great series to check out if you like dinos btw. from the makers of Walking With Dinosaurs

I own a couple of movies of walking with dinosaurs.

[~Shore]

I have the whole set. Its a really great series

[The_Prince_of_Death]

I have the whole set. Its a really great series

 

yes it is. I know some people that would fall asleep after just five minutes of watching it. comes in handy for teachers if they want to put info into the students or just bore them to death.

[~Shore]

the thing I actually like about it is its non-documentary entertainment value, theres a lot of action, good production values, and most episodes have storylines.

that the best part when you buy those certain ones.

[Dire Wolf]

Thats thezisaurous thing(Carnt spell it i have alot of spelling issues)Actully would attack a dinosaur,The fact that it was so big and it had humongous claws about 150cm's Long.

[.:Incognito:.]

i thought therizinosaurus only ate plants

[Dire Wolf]

No,ino alot About dinosaurs and extinct animals,I wouldnt of studied them for at least 5 Years to not no a fact about the Biggest Bird that ever Lived

[The_Prince_of_Death]

I'm trying to remember the dinosaur that was only a plant eater but cad the claws of a meat eater well actually larger claws than that. it only used the claws in defence and when they were fighting eachother. plus it was large in size.

[~Shore]

I'm pretty sure thats theraginosaurus

[The_Prince_of_Death]

okay, thanks. I was botherd that I couldnt remember the name.

[.:Incognito:.]

thats my favorite prehistoric creature

[Dire Wolf]

Its actully Thenzeiphalasaurus

[.:Incognito:.]

Its actully Thenzeiphalasaurus

 

what?

i never heard anything close to Thenzeiphalasaurus

:shock:

[~Shore]

me neither. I always thought it was theraginosaurus. maybe the mighty god of wikipedia could be of service

[Dire Wolf]

NO!NOT WIKPEDIA

[Nɇvɇrmorɇ]

lol, wikipedia isint always wrong! XD

Theraginosaurus- also know as therazinosauras' date=' therodactyle, theroginamimus, Thenzeiphalasaurus and diplodicus, it was a big dino that had awesome claws.[/quote']

-_- They didnt veen get that simple sentance right

Isint Theraginosaurus a Therazinosauras? It is not a Diplodicus, I know that! It was big and did have awsome claws. ^_^ Here is what I found on Therazinosauras.

 

[spoiler=Wikipedia Sez!] Therizinosaurus (pronounced /θɛˌrɪzɨnoʊˈsɔrəs/ 'scythe lizard', from the Greek therizo meaning 'to reap' or 'to cut off' and sauros meaning 'lizard') is a genus of very large theropod dinosaur. Known from very incomplete remains, it is estimated to have grown up to 9.6 meters (32 ft) long and reach 3-6 tonnes (3-7 short tons) in weight.[1] Therizinosaurus lived in the late Cretaceous Period (late Campanian-early Maastrichtian stages, around 70 million years ago), and was one of the last and largest representatives of its unique group, the Therizinosauria. Its fossils were first discovered in Mongolia and they were originally thought to belong to a turtle-like reptile (hence the species name, T. cheloniformis — "turtle-formed"). The first fossil remains of Therizinosaurus were discovered in the late 1940s by a joint Soviet-Mongolian fossil expedition, in the Nemegt Formation of southwestern Mongolia.[2] The expedition unearthed several giant claws that measured up to a meter in length. These were described by Russian paleontologist Evgeny Maleev in 1954, who thought they belonged to a large, turtle-like reptile.[3] However, it was not known what creature these belonged to until the early 1950s, when further expeditions unearthed more fossils: several more sets of claws and parts of the fore and hind limbs. Subsequent finds in northern China allowed paleontologists to assemble the general skeletal structure of the animal, which was determined to be a dinosaur and not a turtle. The discovery of the enigmatic "segnosaurs", including Alxasaurus in 1993 and Beipiaosaurus in 1996, helped clarify the relationships of Therizinosaurus. Various theories had been proposed to explain the ancestry of the segnosaurids, with some scientists even suggesting they were descendents of the sauropodomorphs - but these new, well-preserved finds, which provided details about the bird-like pelvis, feet and skulls, helped confirm that segnosaurids belonged to the same group of theropod dinosaurs as Therizinosaurus (and were therefore re-named therizinosaurids), and that therizinosaurs were, more specifically, advanced, herbivorous maniraptoran theropods. Though the fossil remains of Therizinosaurus are incomplete, inferences can be made about its physical characteristics based on related therizinosaurids. Like other members of its family, Therizinosaurus probably had a small skull atop a long neck, with a bipedal gait and a heavy, deep body (as evidenced by the wide pelvis of other therizinosaurids). Its forelimbs may have reached a length of 2.5 meter (8 ft) long.[4] Its hind limbs ended in four weight-bearing toes, unlike other theropod groups, in which the first toe was reduced to a dewclaw. The most distinctive feature of Therizinosaurus was the presence of three gigantic claws on each digit of its front limbs. These were especially large in Therizinosaurus, and while the largest claw specimens are incomplete, they probably reached just under 1 meter (3.28 feet) in length.[2][5][6] The feeding habits of Therizinosaurus are unknown, since no skull material has ever been found that could indicate its diet. However, like other therizinosaurs, it was probably primarily herbivorous.[7] There are other possible functions that could have been served by the claws of Therizinosaurus, such as defense against predators (e.g. the contemporary Tarbosaurus) and in intraspecific fighting, such as fighting for territory or for mating. The claws may even have served all these functions.

:P
