1. Given that we now know that therizinosaurs were maniraptors, and we even have good fossils of primitive taxa like Falcarius, how feasible is Nessov's "sloth" hypothesis today? (I'm guessing not very.)Not at all.
I figured. Too bad!Would you mind elaborating on that, though? Is it just because we now have good fossils of basal therizinosaurs and they aren't sloth-like? Or is there more to it?
