Prettige feite
Anserimimus had flat, straight claws on its hands, unlike the curved claws of other ornithomimids.2
Its arms were more powerful than those of other ornithomimids, with large crests for strong muscles like the biceps.2
The hand bones (metacarpals) were fused together, making the hand stronger.2
Anserimimus lived about 70 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous.2
Only one complete skeleton of Anserimimus has been found, and it is missing the skull and lower jaws.2
Its closest relative might be Gallimimus, another ornithomimid from the same formation in Mongolia.2
Anserimimus lived alongside giant dinosaurs like Tarbosaurus and Deinocheirus in the Nemegt Formation.2

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Anserimimus
?How big was Anserimimus?
About 3 metres long and weighed around 50 kilograms, though some estimates suggest up to 170 kilograms.2
?What did Anserimimus eat?
Scientists think it was probably an omnivore, but since its skull is missing, its exact diet is unknown.2
?When did Anserimimus live?
It lived about 70 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.2
?Why did Anserimimus have flat claws?
Nobody knows for sure. The flat, straight claws may have been used for a different way of gathering food, but the animal's skull is missing so its diet is hard to study.2

- Anserimimus was named by Mongolian paleontologist Rinchen Barsbold in 1988, based on a skeleton found during a Soviet-Mongolian expedition to the Gobi Desert in the late 1970s.2
- Steeds omstrede
- Scientists are not sure what Anserimimus ate, because its skull has never been found. Its strong arms and flat claws might mean it had a different diet or way of gathering food than other ornithomimids.2
