  Family Ornithomimidae
  Genus Ornithomimus
Ornithomimus was an ominovorous dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period, about 76 to 65 million years ago. Fossils have been found in North America and Asia.

It was about 12 feet (3.7 metres) long. It would have held its body parallel to the ground, balanced by its extra long tail.

Ornithomimus was a fast runner, and could probably have reached speeds of about 30 miles per hour (50 kilometres per hour). It probably ate insects, small reptiles, mammals, fruit, and leaves. It may also have raided the nests of other dinosaurs to steal and eat their eggs.

The creature's name means "bird mimic" and was chosen by Othniel C. Marsh in 1890. Marsh chose the name based only on a foot and partial hand of the first species found, Ornithomimus velox. In 1933, a more complete skeleton of a second species, Ornithomimus edmontonicus was found in Canada.

Timeline:
Ornithomimus was an omnivore (ate meat and plants) that lived  from 76 to 65 million years ago

Product Description:
Eons ago, a bird-mimic dinosaur escaped the jaws of the terrifying predator Albertosaurus, but at the cost of serious injury and, ultimately, its life. Seventy-five million years later, scientists discovered the Ornithomimus' well-hidden, complete articulated skeleton in the badlands of Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park -- conclusive evidence that this little-studied family of dinosaurs is closely related to modern birds.
