Notes:
The very first discovery of Falcarius was made in a vast bonebed containing the disarticulated remains of thousands of individuals from all age groups.

UPDATE FEB 19, 2013:
As a side effect from the discovery of Ornithomimid wings, phylogenetic bracketing suggests Therizinosaurs may have as well, so I have edited Falcarius accordingly. I also added some extra feathering to its body due to changing personal aesthetic preference. Go here ([link]) for the original.
