Could We Ressurect Dinosaurs ?

Ah it was Megaraptor

The second toe on each foot had a 14 inch (35 cm) sickle-like claw

Megaraptor was about 20-26 feet (6-8 m) long

Thats one scary raptor

I did find a couple of pics with feathers, but the one I picked was the nicest.
Wasn't Argentiasaurus found in Bolivia?

I hope not or Bolivia got boned literally

About Megaraptor heres a pic of its claw, which also came from Argentina , man they grew them big down there.




Man I cant imagine something that big and as fast as a raptor I wouldnt think anything would mess with a pack of these.

Yeah, a fav of mine as well. That's a bigg'un fer sure!

In the AMNH in NY they have a moutn of I think Deinocheirus (Terror Hands). Its supposed to be c.f. an oviraptorosaur I believe, its just the arms and hands. There're like six feet long. Ludicrous.

Yeah 8 feet long with 10 inch claws




The funny thing is some people think it was a omnivore or herbivore that used them for digging termite mounds or grasping foliage branches. I guess I can see where there comming from when you look at animal arms like the giant ground sloth.

I would put my money on predator though with arms like that, to bad we only have the arms though.

It is believed that this may be related to raptors and developed into a herbovore....
