Description

One of the three largest known Ornithomimids, it lived in the Nemegt formation of Asia. Famous for it's role in the  Jurassic Park movies where it replaced hadrosaurs (read novel).  Integument shape is based on ratites. Head is not bald, just a color change.
Galimimus would be a very powerful kicker due to it's strong legs and sharp toe claws. Galimimus would likely have  been an omnivore with it's main diet consisting of plant matter.
