Plateosaurus was a medium large herbivorous to omnivorous dinosaur found in different fossil sites of the Late Triassic of Europe. Recently, it was shown that this reptile was not able to pronate its hands completely (pronation = inward rotation) and, therefore, could not move on its front legs. Thus this dinosaur was cleary biped and walked exclusively on its hind legs. The hands of the short but muscular front legs bore large claws on three fingers, used for defence and feeding.
