Looks like this one is dancing to the beat of a different drummer!
I think we'll call her Mim.
Harpymimus
(pronounced HAR-pee-MIME-us)
[a Greek bird-woman monster] was a therapod dinosaur, a bipedal meat-eater that lived during the
about 119- 97.5 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. It had a beak and 10 - 11 cone shaped
teeth in its lower jaw.No one really knows what Mim ate. She had tapered,
three-fingered hands. This extremely fast-running dinosaur had thin,
long-shinned legs and a light-weight body. It was about 6.5 feet (2 m)
long and may have weighed about 275 pounds (125 kg).
This bird-like
dinosaur is known from a skull and a few bones found in Mongolia.
Harpymimus was named by Barsbold & Perle in 1984. The type species
is H. okladnikovi.
