Daily Dinosaur Fact Day #34: Therizinosaurus was a bit of a mystery when it was first discovered. At first, it was thought that the claws, all they had found of it, were the ribs of a giant turtle. When they found claws with arms attached, they thought it was a giant carnivorous theropod. However, nowadays the general consensus is that it was a herbivorous theropod.
