This Is Linhenykus

 

You know how people like to make fun of the T. rex because it has those stupid little arms that would be completely useless in a fistfight? Well, the Linhenykus was the dinosaur that the T. rex used to make fun of for having stupid-looking arms.

What the hell are those things? What did it do with them? We can't tell if they're the most useless arms or just the pointiest nipples in all of history.

I've heard of this thing somewhere. I know palaeontologists had an explanation of what it did with those arms, but I'm not sure at the moment.

I saw it in the book and do noticed the small arms and they have 1 claw on each claw. But they can be useful for defending itself.

Those arms were probably used as hooks, helping the dinosaur catching the ants and termits out of their nest, as diet. Most dinosaurs of this clade, had only one finger, but there are some cases where some species had two: a small, almost unnoticeable one, and the other hook-clawed.

Most likely for slashing, Run up below its prey, slash open the belly "Maybe here, or here, across the belly, spilling out your intestiens, the point is, your alive, when they begin to eat you..." - Alan Grant

 

It would seem logical, If sloths could move faster they'd slash their prey (scary as hell) But It would have to travel in packs maybe...

Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way
