From Mystery to Marvel

Deinocheirus mirificus lived approximately 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period in what is now Mongolia's Gobi Desert. When paleontologists discovered just the arms in 1965, they were baffled—the 8-foot-long limbs with 10-inch claws were unlike anything ever seen! For decades, Deinocheirus remained one of paleontology's greatest enigmas.

The mystery was finally solved in 2014 when complete skeletons revealed an astonishing creature: a 36-foot-long ornithomimosaur (ostrich-dinosaur relative) with a humped back, sail-like spines, duck bill, and pot belly. Despite its fearsome claws, Deinocheirus was likely an omnivore, using its massive arms to pull down branches and dig for food. This gentle giant represents one of the most exciting dinosaur discoveries of the 21st century!
