	Gallimimus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gallimimus (gal-ih-MY-mus), meaning 'fowl mimic', was an ornithomimosaur from the late Cretaceous Period (Maastrichtian stage) Nemegt Formation of Mongolia.
		Gallimimus was rather ostrich-like, with a small head, large eyes, a long neck, short arms, long legs, and a long tail.
		Gallimimus had a number of adaptations which suggest good running ability, such as long limbs, a long tibia and metatarsus and short toes but it is unknown how fast it could run.

		Gallimimus ("chicken mimic") was an ostrich-like oviraptorosaur which existed in southern Mongolia throughout the Upper Cretaceous period.
		Gallimimus was almost certainly able to run up to 70 kilometers per hour (43 miles per hour), like the modern ostrich, making it one of the best dinosaurs.
		The Gallimimus was typically likely an omnivore, eating the small crustaceans, plant material, and insects it filtered from the water in streams and ponds.

		Gallimimus was the largest of a group of dinosaurs known as ornithomimosaurs, 'the bird mimicking lizards', which were toothless, had bird-like skulls, and an appearance similar to that of large running birds.
		Gallimimus was probably omnivorous, although palaeontologists cannot agree on what exactly its diet may have been, as the animal was totally without teeth.
		Gallimimus include long claws on its forelimbs, which were probably used for raking or digging light material from the ground, rather than carrying food to its mouth.

	Gallimimus, a New Look
		Gallimimus was first discovered in the early 1970's in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, and was described and named in 1972.
		It is a theropod dinosaur, and is placed in the Family Ornithomimidae (meaning "bird mimic"), the same family that Elaphrosaurus, Dromiceiomimus, Ornithomimus, and Struthiomimus are placed in.
		They studied a particularly well-preserved Gallimimus specimen, and noticed that the beak of Gallimimus may have been more like that of a duck than a chicken.

		Gallimimus belonged to a group called ornithomimids because their bones resemble those of birds.
		He believes the long-legged Gallimimus waded into shallow water rather than swam, and ate small floating animals and plants like a flamingo or a shoveller, a type of duck.
		Ironically, the name Gallimimus means "chicken mimic" because the fossil's vertebrae resembled those of a chicken.

		Similar in shape to the ostrich, the Gallimimus is Jurassic Park's fastest inhabitant, able to run as fast as 50 miles an hour, thanks to long legs and a relatively light body.
		Upon discovering a potential meal, the Gallimimus proceeds to devour the entire area - including dirt and small rocks - with a ravenous appetite bordering on the comical.
		A mildly entertaining curiousity, the word around InGen is that the Gallimimus was chosen by Genetics as a practical joke.

		Dinosaur Kingdom" there is a little description of Gallimimus Mongoliensis and it's considered as a second species of the genus.
		The author suggest that Gallimimus Mongoliensis is distinguished from Gallimimus Bullatus in: - relatively straight claws - humerus and ulna are shorter, thus entire arm structure is much meager - smaller skull.
		Since Gallimimus Mongoliensis had shorter forelimbs with rather straight claws, it is suggested that this animal was not good at grasping the prey in comparison to Gallimimus Bullatus.

		As their skeleton resembles the ostrich's, their life style is assumed to be similar to that of modern-day ostriches.
		Although other ostrich dinosaurs and their relatives were also found in other continents, such as Southeast Africa and North America, the diversity of those group was the highest in Mongolia.
