A very brief article about the  "Chicken from Hell" Anzu wyliei found in the Hell Creek Formation.  Added some of my photos to get a better view of this cool Dinosaur.

What a strange animal. I really wonder why such big hand claws with such short arms. He stands very high on his legs and I dont see how he could have catch preys with his hands as suggested in the article because his arms are pretty shorts. The shape of the beak is very different from carnivorous birds and I am wondering how you can eat meeat without teeths and with a beak shaped like that.  fascinating animal! Thanks for the link and the nice pics...
