Scientists have stated  that Therizinosaurus, the scythe-clawed dinosaur from Jurassic World, couldn't have used its 'useless' gigantic claws to fight because they were too flimsy.

This dinosaur lived in the the Late Triassic and Cretaceous (220 million to 66 million years ago)..

But it was a herbivore that was suited to eat only plants .
