Gallimimus
Beaked sprinting theropod
Gallimimus is a genus of dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, about 70 million years ago.
The name means "chicken mimic" or "rooster mimic," reflecting its birdlike appearance—it was a tall, ostrich-like theropod with a long neck, toothless beak, and powerful legs built for running.
Fossils have been found in Mongolia.
The dinosaur gained pop culture recognition through its memorable stampede scene in the film Jurassic Park.
