| phylum | Chordata | Deinocheirus is a genus of large theropod dinosaur which lived in what is now southern Mongolia. Long known primarily from a mysterious set of gigantic, large-clawed arms, complete skeletons found in 2014 revealed that it was a bizarre species of giant ornithomimosaurian with a high-ridged back, short hind limbs, and a duck-like bill. Its bill shape combined with the remains of fish found in its stomach suggest it was probably an omnivore that spent much of its time in and around water.
