Description: Gallimimus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 to 66 million years ago. It belonged to the group of dinosaurs known as ornithomimids, which were characterized by their long, slender limbs and bird-like features. Gallimimus was one of the largest members of this group. Gallimimus was a bipedal dinosaur, meaning it walked on two legs, and it had a lightweight build, similar to modern-day ostriches. It reached lengths of about 6 meters (20 feet) and weighed around 440 kilograms (970 pounds). Gallimimus had a small head with a toothless beak and large eyes, indicating it likely had keen eyesight. Fossils of Gallimimus have been found in Mongolia, particularly in the Nemegt Formation. It is known for its remarkable speed and agility, and it is often considered one of the fastest dinosaurs. Gallimimus likely fed on a variety of small animals and plants, using its speed to outrun predators or catch prey. It is also famous for its appearance in the movie Jurassic Park, where it was depicted in a stampede scene.
