A rare new species of two-clawed dinosaur has been discovered by scientists in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert. The species, named Duonychus tsogtbaatari, was unique within a group of dinosaurs called Therizinosaurs, which stood on their hind legs and usually had three claws. It was medium-sized, with an estimated weight of approximately 260kg. Researchers believe the species’ long, curved claws and its ability to strongly flex them would have made it an efficient grasping of vegetation.
