Ha! I'm going to catch you mouse! Wait... I'm Digitized!!!! waaaaa,

Description:

Above is a dinosaur closely related to the birds of today The Celophysises, Gallimimuses, and Struithiomimuses were all speedy hunters that had long necks. The largest, the gallimimus, was about six feet tall at the base of the neck. Like the ostrich and giraffe, they had unusually few verebrae in the neck. These pack hunters lived in the Jurassic period, all the way through. These animals could run at least thirty miles an hour. They mostly ate the small mammals like Magaztrodon and the two foot dragon flies of that time. They lived around and throughout the western hemisphere. Portrayed in Jurrassic Park and the above picture, you can get a good idea of how they look. The brain to head ratio places them at a very high intelligence rate. They usually had stiff tails that probably helped them keep balance.

This is probably a Compsanathus. The Jurrassic Park reference synches it.

I think it is a Gallaminus because Billy in Jurrasic park said it was,but Gallaminus is not suppose to have teeth

Its a Comsonagthus or, Less likely, a Gallimimus.

From: dinosaur05 (Thu Sep 20 16:58:50 2007)
No this is not a Galliminus because it has teeth and as I know Galliminus don't have teeth.

From: webministrator (quentin) (Thu Sep 20 20:11:20 2007)
then likely a compsonagthus, although there is some chance that the places where gallimimus teeth would have fit could have MAYBE been weathered away in the millions of dust storms and the whole fossilization thing.
