Deinocheirus

Illustration by Emily Willoughby

Deinocheirus was 15 meters from head to tail. It had two huge grasping arms and it waded through wetlands in Mongolia around 70 million years ago. For 45 years this species was only known by a pair of arms but recent fossil discoveries include much more of its skeleton. It had a pelican-like skull with thin, straw-like teeth. The remains of this animal were found with fish bones, possibly suggesting that this dinosaur ate fish. However, the shape of its teeth indicates it was likely a plant eater.
