About Deinocheirus
For 50 years known only from a pair of 2.4 meter arms with huge claws that fueled monster speculation. Complete skeletons revealed a hump backed giant with a duck like bill that ate plants and fish. Gastroliths show it swallowed stones to grind food. Among the oddest looking dinosaurs ever found.
