        Gallimimus is a dinosaur featured in Walking with Dinosaurs: Inside Their World app.

Facts

It lived in Mongolia and the rest of Asia. At 6 meters in length, Gallimimus was one of the largest ornithomid dinosaurs, but it still was no match to larger predators like Tarbosaurus, and its main, if not only means of escape was running away.

The fossil remains of Gallimimus were found in large numbers, therefore this dinosaur is well-studied and well-known by paleontologists.

Judging by its jaws and toothless beak, Gallimimus probably fed mainly on plants, like those that one might see near water. But it could also have occasionally eaten small animals, and possibly eggs. However there is not enough data to say for sure.

It has been suggested at least once that ornithomimosaurs where quadrupeds, at least falculatively, unlike any other theropod, thouth this isn't widely dicussed and may be completely false.
