Therizinosaurus, the "Scythe lizard," was, surprisingly enough, likely a herbivore despite its intimidating exterior. With a maximum length of ten meters and a maximum height of four or five meters, this freakishly tall monstrosity possessed a terrifying defining feature: incredibly long claws that reached the length of a meter. These claws likely provided ample protection from the ferocious predators that dared to prey upon Therizinosaurus. As the last and largest of the therizinosaurs, this odd animal roamed the lands only a few million years before the large dinosaurs disappeared from the Earth. Because of that, it serves as the poster-child for its family, Therizinosauridae. Roaming what is now modern Mongolia, Therizinosaurus was among other odd herbivores and carnivores in scrublands near deserts. However, sometimes dense rainforests with plentiful plantlife and a variety of trees provided a suitable habitat and wealth of food to Therizinosaurus. Its monstruous claws were used to reach branches and leaves and pull them to its mouth. It may have competed with its relative Deinocheirus for food, though this would likely have been more of an issue in the desert than the rainforest.
