Look closely, because it looks like this guy has thumb like appendages!
Plateosaurus was a large, early
herbivore that was about 27.5 feet long and weighed about 1,500
pounds. It had a long neck, very long tail, a small head with a
long snout, and large, five-fingered hands with a large thumb claw (and
smaller claws on the other fingers). Plateosaurus may have been able to
use its hand for holdimg onto things in addition to walking. Its back legs were
larger than its front legs. It was a very common dinosaur in Europe
during the late Triassic period.
