The Animal with Horrible hands !!

Strange World.

Our world has experienced numerous unusual and creepy animals over her history. All organisms in the planet, from the smallest to the largest, are unique in many ways. Nature, on the other hand, can produce something weird. Around 90 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous epoch, Earth experienced one of the oddest species that ever lived. 

Discovery of an unusual animal.

Sofia Kielan, a Polish paleontologist, discovered dinosaur fossils in Mongolia's Gobi Desert in 1965. Nobody knew who that dinosaur was at the time. Both forelimbs, omitting the claws of the right hand, the entire shoulder girdle, the central of three dorsal vertebrae, five ribs, gastralia (belly ribs), and two ceratobranchialia were discovered. It was a type of theropod dinosaur. Theropod dinosaurs were a type of dinosaur that could walk on two legs. They are easily identified by their hollow bones and three-toed limbs. However, this animal possessed exceptionally huge hands, which theropod dinosaurs did not have. It eventually learns that its hand may grow to be 2.4 meters long.

The Horrible Hands.

Paleontologists named it Deinocheirus mirificus after its weird and terrifying hands. The name translates as "the horrible hands." For nearly a century, we were unable to comprehend the true structure and behavior of this strange species. Mongolian paleontologists discovered new deinocheirus fossils after a century of searching in 2012 and 2013. Poachers who stole the animal's skulls, feet, and hands had previously discovered the remains. However, the animal's skull was later discovered in Europe. Experts claim that when these components are combined, they can approximate the entire skull of Deinocheirus.

It was a duck billed dinosaur.  

Paleontologists found Deinocheirus was an ornithomimid dinosaur after conducting additional investigation. Ornithomimosaurs are a type of theropod dinosaurs that resembled birds and were mostly omnivorous. Deinocheirus is a large creature with a sail-like spine. We can deduce that it spent most of its time near water, grazing on aquatic plants and fish. Deinocheirus can grow to be as big as a T-Rex. Scientists saying that it had feathers like its relatives. One of Deinocheirus's stranger features was a series of extra-long bones in its back that formed a hump or sail. Researchers think that may have helped it balance and support its huge mass on its hind legs. Deinocheirus' hip height was estimated to be 3.3–3.6 m (11–12 ft) in 2010 research. The weight was previously thought to be between 2 and 12 tons. The arms were also compared to those of tyrannosaurs, despite the fact that members of that species did not have enormous arms in proportion to their body size. The large claws may have been used for digging and gathering plants.

Extinction of the Bizarre Animal.

According to fossil discoveries, Deinocheirus's last fossil was recorded at 66 million years ago. Because of it, scientists think it went extinct around that time. Deinocheirus could have thrived in prehistoric times because it was an unusually well-adapted animal for its surroundings. It was also a co-habitant of Oviraptors and Tarbosaurus , with whom they frequently interacted. So, after many years of searching and struggling, scientists now know the story of this strange, horrible, and bizarre animal. They may now confidently state that Deinocheirus was a magnificent creature created by nature..
