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.
