Noasaurus was a small, speedy meat-eater that lived in Argentina near the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. It had a strongly curved claw on each hand that it may have used like a hook to catch fish or other small animals. Noasaurus was about as long as a bicycle and probably hunted in the warm forests of South America.1
