Fakte argëtuese
Aepyornithomimus is known from only a single left foot and ankle bones, but it is the best preserved ornithomimid specimen from the Djadokhta Formation.12
Its name means 'ostrich mimic from Tögrögiin Shiree' because its foot looks like that of a giant ostrich.12
This dinosaur lived about 83 to 72 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.3

Pyetjet më të shpeshta për Aepyornithomimus

?What did Aepyornithomimus eat?
It had a toothless beak like an ostrich, so it probably ate plants, small animals, and maybe eggs. Scientists think it was an omnivore.4
