Unique two-clawed dinosaur discovered

A rare new species of two-clawed dinosaur has been discovered by scientists in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert.
The species, named Duonychus tsogtbaatari, is unique within a group of dinosaurs called Therizinosaurs, which stand on their hind legs and usually have three claws.
It was medium-sized, with an estimated weight of approximately 260kg.
Researchers believe the species’ long, curved claws and its ability to strongly flex them would have made it an efficient grasper of vegetation.
Therizinosaurs were a group of either herbivorous or omnivorous theropod dinosaurs that lived in Asia and North America during the Cretaceous Period, which began 145 million years ago and ended 66 million years ago.
