Gallimimus — size comparison — facts and sources

Gallimimus lived in Late Cretaceous Mongolia. A small head, long neck and elongated hind legs produced an ostrich-like outline. It was among the larger ornithomimosaurs. Feathers are highly probable based on close relatives.

Limb anatomy indicates capable running, although published speeds come from models rather than direct measurements. It inhabited a landscape with rivers and vegetation. Exact diet remains debated: plants and small animals may have contributed, but proportions are uncertain.
