About Struthiomimus
Struthiomimus is a genus of ornithomimid dinosaur that lived in what is now North America during the Late Cretaceous period, about 75-71 million years ago. It was a small, lightly built dinosaur with long, slender legs and a long, flexible neck. It had a small head with large eyes, a beak-like snout, and tiny, toothless jaws. It is thought to have been an omnivore, feeding on a variety of plants and possibly small animals. Struthiomimus is known from several well-preserved skeletons, which have helped paleontologists understand the anatomy and lifestyle of this dinosaur.
