Meet the Gallimimus, one of the swiftest dinosaurs to ever roam the Earth. Often compared to a prehistoric ostrich, this lightweight, long-legged dinosaur was built for speed and agility, racing across open plains during the Late Cretaceous period.
 
With its small head, large eyes, long neck, and toothless beak, Gallimimus likely fed on plants, seeds, insects, and small animals. Its powerful legs allowed it to escape predators quickly, making speed its greatest defense. The Schleich® Gallimimus figurine captures this dynamic runner in motion, showcasing its slender build and alert posture—perfect for imaginative play and educational discovery.
