Datos curiosos

1

For a long time, scientists only had a pair of arm bones with huge claws to study Deinocheirus. They did not know what the rest of the dinosaur looked like until 2014.1

2

Deinocheirus had a large hump on its back, supported by its backbone. This made it look a bit like a camel.1

3

Its hands were huge and had long, sharp claws. The name Deinocheirus means 'terrible hand'.1

4

Deinocheirus lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 70 to 66 million years ago.1

5

It was an omnivore, meaning it ate both plants and meat. Scientists think it used its beak to eat plants and small animals.15

6

Deinocheirus belonged to a group of dinosaurs called ornithomimosaurs, which are often called 'ostrich dinosaurs' because they looked a bit like ostriches.5

As preguntas máis frecuentes sobre Deinocheirus

?How big was Deinocheirus?

It was about 11 metres (36 feet) long and weighed around 6.5 tonnes (7.2 short tons). That is as long as a big bus.4
