DinosaurExtinctomnivore

Ornithomimus was a feathered, ostrich-like dinosaur that sprinted across western North America during the Late Cretaceous. Built for speed on two legs, it had a toothless beak perfect for snacking on plants and small prey. This clever omnivore might have used its feathers for warmth or even display.

  • Ran on two strong legs like a modern roadrunner.
  • Covered in feathers but couldn’t fly—built for speed instead.
  • Nibbled food with a small, toothless beak like a parrot.
