Description
Gallimimus are an ostrich-like dinosaur known for their speed – which has been compared to that of a cheetah. Their name means 'chicken mimic'. They were one of the larger types of ornithomimosaurs, and most likely ate small creatures, eggs and maybe some plants.
Discovery
The first Gallimimus fossil was discovered in a Polish-Mongolian expedition in the Nemgt Formation in the Gobi Desert. Only one species of this genus has so far been discovered.
Paleoecology
The Nemegt Formation reveals indications of water channels, mudflats and shallow lakes that would likely have supported a diverse ecology.
