### id=30: Gallimimus (Gallimimus bullatus)

- URL: https://www.dinoland.ai/species.html?lang=en&id=30
- Diet: Omnivore
- Era: Cretaceous
- Period: 70 million years ago
- Length: 6 m
- Weight: ≈440 кг
- Height: 2 m
- Speed: до 60 km/h
- Habitat: River terraces and seasonally dry scrub
- Region: Mongolia
- Discovered: 1972, Polish–Mongolian Paleontological Expedition

Fact: “Ostrich-mimic sprinter—fleet ornithomimosaur herds on Nemegt riverbanks.”

Description: Gallimimus was a toothless ornithomimosaur with elongate hind limbs and a narrow rostrum adapted for straining small animals, plant matter, or eggs. Cursorial proportions rank it among the fastest non-avian theropods, possibly exceeding ostrich-like speeds when evading tyrannosaurids such as Tarbosaurus in shared faunas.

Features:
  - Hind-limb elongation supports speeds potentially near 60 km/h
  - Edentulous jaws ended in keratinized beaks
  - Trackway data imply mixed-age herd structure

Related genera: Struthiomimus, Ornithomimus, Deinonychus
