Andrew's Erlik-Lizard

Erlikosaurus andrewsi

(Perle vide Barsbold & Perle, 1980)

    Erlikosaurus andrewsi are large herbivores of Late Cretaceous Asia.  Waddling along on their short hind legs, these bulky creatures defend themselves with swipes of the large claws on their forelimbs.

Thanks to Peter Buchholz for helping me with the latin translation of the name and Ray Stanford, of cource.
