<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="larus-pristinus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Megaraptor namunhuaiquii was a large megaraptoran theropod from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina. Initially thought to be a dromaeosaurid, its massive arm claws (~30cm) turned out to be hand claws not foot claws. At ~8m, it was an apex predator in Patagonia.
