nothronychus mckinleyi - therizinosaurid - late cretaceous

a Very tall lady with some Quite impressive talons- i dont doubt the upkeep is a hassle! a study in this specific species of nothronychus (one of two, the other being n. graffami) and other therizinosaurs showed the family had very well developed senses useful for foraging! another future re-examination of n. mckinleyi's braincase in particular suggested an inclination to hearing low frequency sounds, meaning nothronychus likely had complex social behaviors- possibly even comparable to today's elephants!
