Pelecanimimus
Pelecanimimus was an ominovorous dinosaur that lived in the early
Cretaceous period,
between about 135 and 125 million years ago. It was one of the earliest
members of the Ornithomimosaur superfamily, and lived in
Europe
(Fossils of the animal
were discovered in
Spain).
Pelecanimimus grew to a length of about 6½ to 8 feet (2 to 2.5 meters).
It was about 3½ feet (1 meter) tall at the hips, and probably
weighed around 220 pounds (100 kilograms).
Pelecanimimus had a number of unusual features for an Ornithomimosaur.
These include a very long narrow skull, and a surprisingly large number
of teeth (about 220) - most Ornithomimosaur don't seem to have had teeth at all.
The
fossils of
Pelecanimimus that have been found, include soft-tissue impressions.
From these, we know that the animal had a small crest on the back of its head,
which was presumably made from skin or keratin, and a punch on its neck (a "gular pouch"),
similar to the pouch of modern pelicans. It is this pouch which was the inspiration for the
name "Pelecanimimus" - it means "pelican mimic".
Pelecanimimus was an omnivore (ate meat and plants) that lived from 135 to 125 million years ago
