Dromiceiomimus
Dromiceiomimus was an dinosaur that lived in North America during the late
Cretaceous period,
between about 80 and 65 million years ago.
Dromiceiomimus was about 12 feet (3.5 meters) long, and is believed to have weighed
around 220 to 330 pounds (100 to 150 kilograms). It is thought to have been a fast-runner
like its close relative, Struthiomimus.
It also seems to have good vision, and may well have been nocturnal.
As with Struthiomimus,
there has been some debate about what Dromiceiomimus would have eaten.
Dromiceiomimus is often considered to have been an omnivore. It is diet may have consisted of
small lizards and mammals, eggs, insects, and fruit. It has been suggested (most noteably by the paleontologist
Dale A. Russell) that Dromiceiomimus may have been entirely carnivorous, but the animal does seem to have
some features would have suited a party herbivorous lifestyle.
Dromiceiomimus was an omnivore (ate meat and plants) that lived from 80 to 65 million years ago
