    The missing hand claw of Australovenator (nicknamed "Banjo"), an Australian Megaraptor relative, has been found. It was 15 cms long, and used as a hook, say paleontologists, to hold onto its prey while delivering nasty bites to it, starting to eat it alive.

    Here's an Australovenator hunting a small Diamantinasaurus. Seems that this dino is already quite famous in its native land.
