Australovenator

And maybe it used it like a grappling hook to catch prey.

When it was found, I think when it was found is when they said it was the largest theropod known from Australia, but I think that was before Australovenator was found.

Anyway, it was found by miners in an opal field, and they found a foot bone, parts of the hips, ribs, arm, and of course, that giant hand claw.

Although it may be synonymous with Rapator.

Then we've got Aoniraptor, but that's our bonus Dinosaur of the Day, so I'm not gonna say anything about that one yet.

Hmm.

And Australovenator, we talked about in episode 126, the southern hunter from the late Cretaceous in Australia.

It's the largest known predatory dinosaur from Australia, and it's estimated to be about 20 feet or six meters long and weigh, like, 680 to 1,100 pounds or 310 to 500 kilograms.
