How fast was it?
Anndal belɗungal
Beishanlong is one of the largest ornithomimosaurs ever found, but the only known skeleton was still growing when it died.1
Its fossils were found in the Xinminpu Group of rocks, which are about 121 to 113 million years old.2
Beishanlong lived alongside other giant dinosaurs like the therizinosaur Suzhousaurus and the oviraptorosaur Gigantoraptor.1
A bone study showed that the Beishanlong holotype had 13 or 14 growth lines, meaning it was a teenager when it died.3
Beishanlong had strong arms and curved claws on its hands, which it may have used to gather food.1
Scientists think Beishanlong was stockier and heavier than later ornithomimosaurs like Gallimimus.1

- Scientists are not sure exactly what Beishanlong ate. It had a toothless beak, so it may have been a plant-eater or an omnivore.2
