Nothronychus Along a Forest Stream
A Nothronychus with huge claws stands beside a bend in a woodland stream. The distinctive dinosaur pauses near the tranquil water where forest vegetation thrives along the riverbank.
The Curious Anatomy of Nothronychus
Nothronychus belonged to a peculiar group of theropod dinosaurs known as therizinnosaurs. Although descended from meat-eating ancestors, Nothronychus adapted entirely to a plant-based diet. Its most striking feature was a set of curved, ten-inch claws on its hands, which it used to hook foliage and strip branches rather than hunt prey.
