Struthiomimus
Click here for more Struthiomimus Pictures
Struthiomimus was an dinosaur that lived in the late
Cretaceous period,
between about 76 and 74 million years ago.
Struthiomimus was about 14 feet (4.3 meters) long, and about 4½ (1.4 meters) tall at the hips.
It is believed to have weighed around 330 pounds (150 kilograms). It was probably a fast-runner,
perhaps being able to reach speeds of 30 to 50 miles per hour (50 to 80 kilometers per hour).
The first fossils
of the animal were found by
Othniel C. Marsh
in 1890, and further
fossils were
discovered by Lawrence Lambe in
1901,
and by Barnum Brown in 1914.
The fossils found by
Marsh
and Lambe were believed by them to be a variety of
Ornithomimus and were named
accordingly - however after
Barnum Brown's discovery of a near-complete
specimen in Alberta, Canada in
1914,
Henry Fairfield Osborn
was able to identify this animal as a separate Genus and named in
1914,
chosing the name "Struthiomimus" - which means "ostrich mimic".
As well as the confusion about
classification, there has been considerable debate about
the diet of Struthiomimus. Based on its straight-edged beak, some scientists believe it
to have been an omnivore. Other scientists have thought it to be a carnivore (meat-eater),
because some of its relatives were carnivores.
Many scientists (including Henry Fairfield Osborn)
have suggested Struthiomimus was probably
a herbivore (plant-eaters) - its hands seem well-adapted to hooking branches and fern fronds.
Finally, there is also a possibility that it may have lived on the shoreline and been a filter feeder,
straining water for food particles in a way similar to modern flamingo birds.
Struthiomimus was a dinosaur that lived from 76 to 74 million years ago

- "Struthiomimus" means "ostrich mimic". This name was chosen by Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1917.

- Struthiomimus lived between about 76 million years ago and 74 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.
- Struthiomimus lived in North America.
- Struthiomimus was probably an omnivore - although there have also been theories that it may have been a carnivore (meat-eater), herbivore (plant-eater), or even a filter feeder (straining food from water like a flamingo).

- Struthiomimus weighed about 330 pounds (150 kilograms).
