Description: Avimimus (ay-vih-MY-mus) meaning "bird mimic", because it resembled a bird (avis = bird + mimus = mimic) was a genus of birdlike dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous in what is now Mongolia, around 75 million years ago.
Avimimus was a small dinosaur, standing about 45 centimeters (2.5 ft) tall at the hips and a length of 1.5 m (5 ft). The skull was relatively small compared to the body, though the brain and eyes were relatively large. The size of the bones which surrounded the brain and were dedicated to protecting it are large. This is also consistent with the hypothesis that Avimimus had a proportionally large brain.
As in the related Oviraptoridae and Caenagnathidae, the jaws of Avimimus formed a parrot-like beak, and lacked teeth. However, a series of toothlike projections along the tip of the premaxilla would have given the beak a serrated edge. The toothless beak of Avimimus suggests that it may have been an herbivore or omnivore. Kurzanov himself, however, believed that Avimimus was an insectivore.
