Therizinosaurus, the Scythe Lizard

from Paleo Bites

(image source: https://dinopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Therizinosaurus) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lexi Ryan discuss Therizinosaurus, a dinosaur that looked like a house-sized goose with claws bigger than your torso, AKA the most terrifying animal ever. From the Late Cretaceous, this 35-foot maniraptoran theropod was initially identified as a giant turtle, because paleontologists are silly sometimes. Then again, imagine one of the ninja turtles with claws like these. That’d be pretty scary. He’d definitely take over Raphael’s role as the bad boy.  Want to further support the show?
