It lived alongside the long-snouted tyrannosaur Qianzhousaurus and many oviraptorosaurs like Banji and Corythoraptor.2

4

Nanshiungosaurus was one of the last therizinosaurs to exist, living just before the dinosaur extinction.2

5

Its name comes from Nanxiong, the city near where its fossils were found, and the Greek word for lizard.2

6

Only the backbone and pelvis of Nanshiungosaurus have been found, so no one knows what its head looked like.1
