Gallimimus means "chicken mimic" in Latin. It is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period and is known for its long legs and slender body, which suggest it was a fast runner. The name reflects its bird-like features, particularly its beak and overall shape, which resemble those of modern birds. Gallimimus is often recognized as one of the largest known members of the Ornithomimosauria group, commonly referred to as "ostrich dinosaurs."
