Therizinosaurus: Giant Clawed Herbivore of Late Cretaceous

Therizinosaurus, one of the largest herbivorous therizinosaurs, had colossal claws and feathered arms. This short cinematic documentary explores its slow, deliberate foraging behavior and remarkable limb mechanics in dense Late Cretaceous forests.

Key Facts:
Epoch: Late Cretaceous (~70 million years ago)
Size: ~10 meters long, ~5 tons
Diet: Herbivorous, leaves, fruits, low vegetation
Signature behavior: Slow, deliberate claw-based foraging with coordinated limb and tail movement

Chapters:
0:00–0:04 → Hook: massive claws slicing foliage
0:04–0:10 → Foraging: stretching forelimbs to grasp leaves
0:10–0:16 → Tail balancing over uneven forest floor
0:16–0:22 → Alert scanning: head rotation and feather ruffling
0:22–0:30 → Feeding completion: stripping leaves, deliberate movement
