Chirostenotes
Chirostenotes was a dinosaur that lived in
North America
(its fossils have been found in
Alberta, Canada)
during
the late Cretaceous period,
about 80 million years ago.
Chirostenotes was about 9½ feet (2.9 meters) long, about 3 feet (0.9 meters) tall at its hips, and
around 110 pounds (50 kilograms).
Chirostenotes had a toothless beak, long arms with powerful claws, long slender toes, and a tall rounded
crest similar to that of the modern cassowary bird.
Chirostenotes is thought to have been an omnivore
and would probably have eaten small animals,
eggs, insects,
and some plant material.
