#Harpymimus lived in #Mongolia roughly 105mya. It had teeth (which later ornithomimids lacked) that would have been best used for grabbing food - not chewing. As a result, Harpymimus was likely a herbivore that occasionally hunted small prey or scavenged. (#PaleoArt by @bidnat_)
As #halloween approaches don’t forget lots of prehistoric beasts are named after spooky stuff. Check out #Lyceanops “wolf face”, #Harpymimus “harpy mimic”, #Medusaceratops “Medusa horned face” and #Stygimoloch “Demon from the River Styx”. #monsters #paleoart #watercolor #dinosaur
