Since we’re comparing body parts, it’s only fair that we show you the dino with the longest claws. The Therizinosaurs had the longest claws ever found, measuring in at up to three feet long. Its name couldn’t fit any better, as it translates to “reaping lizard” as cutting and slashing were its best defence mechanisms. Most of the fossils of this creature are incomplete but its distinctive claws make any and all bones special finds. The first fossil of its kind was found 1948 in Mongolia, during a joint Mongolian-Soviet fossil mission.
