		Therizinosaurus lived in the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago, and its fossils were first exposed in Mongolia.
		The feeding habits of Therizinosaurus are still debated, but it was most almost certainly an herbivore, using its big physical claws to push leaves into its mouth.
		There are other likely uses for Therizinosaurus claws, such as defense against predators (such as the contemporary Tarbosaurus) and for intraspecific fight, such as hostility for territory or for mating.

		Therizinosaurus cheloniformis was named for remains from the southern Gobi Desert, which included huge claws measuring up to 28 inches (without the horny sheath that covered them in life!) as well as seven-foot-long arms and some flattened ribs.
		Therizinosaurus cheloniformis was kept in its own group for a long time.
		One of the most striking characteristics of Therizinosaurus cheloniformis (apart from the myriad of striking characteristics it shares with other therizinosaurs) is the huge, blade-like claws on the hand.

		Therizinosaurus eats mostly fruit, leaves and insects (tearing open termite mounds with its massive claws), but is not averse to scavenging.
		The kills of a therizinosaurus tend to be messy, a fact which makes them avoided by all intelligent inhabitants of their territory.
		Therizinosaurus is common in the jungles of Chult, where it is more likely to actively hunt than in most other places.

	Therizinosaurus cheloniformis - the Scythe Lizard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Therizinosaurus has been an intriguing puzzle for scientists ever since several huge claws were first discovered in 1948.
		Although there was not enough fossil material to determine its appearance, the claws were so unique that they had to be from a new species.
		The feeding habits of Therizinosaurus are still debated, but it was most probably an herbivore, using its big manual claws to push leaves into its mouth.

		Therizinosaurus had massive 70 centimeter long claws, probably used to rake leaves off trees.
		Very few Therizinosaurus remains have been found so restorations have been based around its relatives Alxasaurus, Erlikosaurus, Segnosaurus and Beipiaosaurus.
		Beipiaosaurus fossils have been found with feathers, so therizinosaurs were probably quite bird-like in their outward appearance.

		But unlike other theropods, Therizinosaurus was a vegetarian, a quality which also accounts for its strange appearance.
		Therizinosaurus roamed the conifer forests on the edges of the desert, using its long neck to stretch for leaves growing on tall trees.
		Therizinosaurus may have used its huge claws to pull tree branches towards its mouth in order to feed on the leaves.

	Therizinosaurus Fact Sheet - EnchantedLearning.com
		Some paleontologists have speculated that Therizinosaurus used its giant claws to rip open giant termite nests, making Therizinosaurus an insectivore (an insect-eater), but many paleontologists think that it was an herbivore (plant-eater).
		Therizinosaurus' huge arms were 8 feet (2.45 m) long; it had claws up to 28 inches (70 cm) long.
		When Therizinosaurus was found, it was first thought to be a giant turtle, not a dinosaur.

		Er is niet zo heel veel van Therizinosaurus teruggevonden, maar wat er is gevonden is zeker spectaculair.
		Therizinosaurus is de naamgever van een groep zeer merkwaardige dinosaurussen waar de paleontologen lang geen raad mee wisten.
		Een ding is echter wel duidelijk, als Therizinosaurus zich oprichtte en met zijn klauwen begon te zwaaien was het een geduchte tegenstander voor elk roofdier!

	Therizinosaurus Fact File
		Therizinosaurus was first discovered in 1954, although, at that point, it was not even believed to be a dinosaur at all!
		Therizinosaurus' remains, which were little more than a giant clawed hand and arm, were at first thought to belong to a giant turtle, hence its species name.
		Like Therizinosaurus, these giant mammals had huge claws, stripped tree bark, fed mainly on plants, were (at least partially) bipedal, grew to massive sizes, and had a hairy body covering (although in Therizinosaurus, it was actually primitive feathers, and is merely speculative).

		The name Therizinosaurus cheloniformis means "turtle scythe lizard", because its enormous claws were originally thought to be those of a turtle.
		Therizinosaurus has a basic avian form on a huge scale, with an estimated length exceeding forty feet.
		Here, Therizinosaurus is shown with giraffe-like prehensile tongue and an armored belly, as this area would seem somewhat exposed and venerable.

	Therizinosaurus cheloniformis
		Rozhdestvensky speculated that Therizinosaurus was a giant dinosaurian anteater, using its claws to rip open anthills and termite mounds.
		Noting a similarity between the shoulder blades of Segnosaurus and Therizinosaurus, Paul published a composite segnosaur skeletal reconstruction with giant therizinosaur claws in 1988.
		Based largely on skeletal features of Alxasaurus, most dinosaurologists believe the therizinosauroids are highly derived, herbivorous members of the great group of predominantly carnivorous theropods, closely related to either ornithomimosaurs or oviraptorosaurs.

		Therizinosaurus (at least the arms they have of it) was much larger and this may explain what the authors were doing with sizes a bit I suppose.
		COMMENTS: Therizinosaurus had long arms (2.4m/7 ft long) ending in fingers tipped with huge curved claws.
		It has been suggested that their claws may have been used to rip open termite mounds, but it is difficult to believe that animals as large as Segnosaurus and especially Therizinosaurus could have survived on such a diet.

		Erlikosaurus had a small skull, but the big surprise was that it had small peg-like teeth and the anterior part of the muzzle was modified into a toothless, bill-like structure similar to a bird's beak.
		The bird-like beak and lack of teeth were unsuitable for a meat-eater, which meant that Therizinosaurus was a herbivore.
		They had long arms with enormous claws on their manus (hands); some were up to 3 feet long.

		Originally thought to be a giant turtle (hence the specific name), more finds showed it to be a dinosaur, but the classification ended there.
		Only years after its discovery was Therizinosaurus placed in the same group as the segnosaurs - sometimes even given their own order.
		The huge fore claws are distinctive for this animal, and the huge plant eater may have been used them to pull and rake leaves from trees like a giant ground sloth.

		Chilantaisaurus also has a similar, large ungual phalanx (Hu, 1964), however its differentiation from those of Therizinosaurus is very clear.
		The specific construction of the forelimb in Therizinosaurus testifies to the fact that it cannot be identified with Chilantaisaurus and Alectrosaurus.

		In the late 1950s, a number of different bones were found, including a tooth, another large claw and parts of the front and rear limbs that also included a four-toed foot.
		These bones were so bizarre that paleontologists didn't know what to make of them except to classify them together because of the strange claws.
		Parts of the pelvis and other bones were also found, which gave paleontologists a better look at what was shaping up to be the strangest dinosaur ever to walk the earth.

		For many years, these animals were known as segnosaurids, but the discovery of Alxasaurus showed their close relationship to a bizarre theropod named Therizinosaurus, which is based on a partial arm with meter-long claws.
		In the past they have been classified as strange theropods, late-surviving prosauropods, descendants of a transition from prosauropods to ornithischians, and relatives of Sauropodomorpha.
		Based on about a third of a skeleton of a fairly large therizinosaurian (up to 6 m), including a partial skull, several cervicals, other verts, a good chunk of the fore and hindlimbs, and an ischium once thought to be the squamosal of Zuniceratops, Nothronychus is North America's first named therizinosaurian.
