Gallimimus, meaning “chicken mimic,” was the largest member of the ornithomimid (“bird mimic”) family of dinosaurs and lived during the late Cretaceous period. Bearing a striking resemblance to modern day ostriches, it was probably covered in feathers, sported a long, slender, beak-like snout (similar to the beak of a duck), and could reach speeds of 29 to 34 miles per hour.
