Man have you ever wondered if there was a ancient bird in the world what dinosaur would it be??? Well let Dino lord tell with Archaeornithomimus Wednesday.
Like other ornithomimids, Archaeornithomimus was a long legged dinosaur that was built for speed. The tail would have been long and carried high to serve as a counterbalance to help aid locomotion. The skull of Archaeornithomimus is so far unknown, but is expected to be toothless and formed into a beak like with other dinosaurs of its group. Unfortunately this also means that Archaeornithomimus shares the same controversy about what it ate, as the beak could have been used for anything from browsing select plant parts to catching insects and small vertebrates like lizards and mammals.
Because Archaeornithomimus is known from the Iren Dabasu Formation, it’s reasonable to establish that it would have shared its ecosystem with other dinosaurs such as the tyrannosaur Alectrosaurus, the maniraptorian Avimimus, the huge oviraptorid Gigantoraptor and even the dromaeosaurid Velociraptor amongst others.
