Struthiomimus
TIME: Late Cretaceous
LOCALITY: North America (Alberta and
New Jersey)
SIZE: 11 ft 6 in/3.5 m long
For many years after its discovery in 1914,
Struthiomimus was thought to be the same
animal as Ornithomimus. But more detailed
research in 1972 showed that they were
indeed different, albeit in small ways.
Struthiomimus had longer arms than its
relative, had stronger, curved claws on its
fingers, and existed slightly earlier in the
Late Cretaceous than Ornithomimus. It
probably hunted along riverbanks in open
country.
