Dinosaur of the day Suzhousaurus, a large therizinosaur theropod that had one of the longest upper arm bones of any theropod.

In dinosaur news this week:

• Three immature Daspletosaurus skull bones help show how the dinosaur changed (and didn’t change) as it grew up
• Modern birds have high EQs which they evolved from non-avian dinosaurs
• Scientists caution on how to estimate sizes and body shapes of extinct animals (be careful what animals you compare it to)
