STRUTHIOMIMUS ALTUS
"Noble Ostrich Mimic"
Osborn, 1917 (originally Ornithomimus Lambe, 1902)
Length: 4.3m (14ft)
Weight: 150kg (330 lbs.)
Location: Alberta, Canada
Era: Campanian age, upper Cretaceous (75 million years ago)

Classification:
Dinosauria
Saurischia
Theropoda
Tetanurae
Avetheropoda
Coelurosauria

Notes:
S. altus, the type species of the Struthiomimus genus, was labeled as two separate species of Ornithomimus before being split off into its own genus.

Synonyms:
Ornithomimus altus Lambe, 1902

UPDATE JAN 22 2013:
As it was discovered that Ornithomimosaurs had wings after I had drawn Struthiomimus, I went back and added them. There are some other minor touch-ups and changes as well to better fit my newer drawings and due to stylistic choices.

Nozaki Happy Icon Vulture Struthiomimus, now that's awesome! Hori Talking Icon Though because of the name, it would seem perfect to use Ostrich colors.

Twilight (Nodding) Plz But I like this a lot...Hori Smirking Icon I think I'll dub thee, Struthiomimus. aurathartes! After the animal's color it is based on; pretty clever eh?Nappa the Queer by michelrpg
