Episode 434: Therizinosaurus had weak claws. Did Therizinosaurus have claws that were too large to be useful? Did Alvarezsaurus have claws that were too small? How dinosaurs played, how raptors used their claws, and dinosaurs in space.

Dinosaur of the day Struthiosaurus, a small nodosaurid from Europe (not to be confused with the ornithomimid Struthiomimus)..

In dinosaur news this week:

  • Alvarezsaurs and therizinosaurs were weird, and the giant claws of Therizinosaurus were surprisingly weak
  • Scientists studied birds to figure out how dinosaurs may have played
  • Raptors probably used their “killing claws” to pin their prey, rather than slash at prey.
