Struthiomimus

dinosaurs · speedy runners · omnivores · Late Cretaceous

Super long legs. Struthiomimus had tall, powerful legs built for running, much like modern ostriches and emus today.

No teeth, just a beak. Instead of sharp teeth for hunting, this dinosaur had a toothless beak it used to grab and eat whatever food it could find.

Ate almost anything. Struthiomimus was an opportunistic omnivore, meaning it ate mostly plants but also snacked on small animals, insects, and anything else it could fit in its mouth.

Walked on two legs. This dinosaur was bipedal, meaning it stood upright and ran on just its two back legs, balancing with its tail.

Found in Canada. Struthiomimus fossils are common in Dinosaur Provincial Park in western North America, making it one of the easier dinosaurs for scientists to study.
