Description: Garudimimus ("Garuda mimic") is a basal member of Ornithomimosauria, known from single specimen discovered from Upper Cretaceous sediments of Mongolia.
Previously it was thought that this primitive member of Ornithomimosauria possessed a horn at the top of the skull. However, recent studies have shown that this "horn" was simply a misplaced skull bone. In 1981, Rinchen Barsbold placed it in its own family, Garudimimidae.

Garudimimus

Gallimimus, the "chicken mimic," is similar in many ways to modern flightless
birds like the ostrich. It has a light build, able to run quite fast on thin
but powerful hind legs, and has a powerful, toothless beak.
