Struthiomimus
Struthiomimus (ostrich mimic) was a two-legged omnivore. It had long legs for running, a slender neck, a small head, paper-thin skull bones, large eye sockets, a toothless beak, short back, longer shins than thighs, and three toes with claws on each foot. Struthiomimus therefore strongly resembled an ostrich.
