Alxasaurus (SciiFii)

Alxasaurus (/ˌɑːlʃəˈsɔːrəs/; "Alxa Desert lizard") is a genus of therizinosauroid alxasaurid theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Albian) Bayin-Gobi Formation in Inner Mongolia. It is one of the earliest known members of the superfamily Therizinosauroidea, but it already possessed the body shape - including the long neck, short tail, and long hand claws - of later therizinosauroids. Like other members of this group, it was a bipedal herbivorewith a large gut to process plant material. Several specimens are known and the largest was a little over 3.8 metres (12 feet) long.[1] According to Gregory S. Paul, it was 4 metres (13 feet) long and its weight was about 400 kilograms (880 pounds).[2]
