Ornithomimoides was a small meat-eater that lived in India. Although it is named as if it were related to the ostrich like dinosaurs, such as Gallimimus, it is actually related to larger predators. Only a few bones have ever been found so its exact looks are only an educated guess.

This Indian theropod may be a relative of Allosaurus, although it lived tens of millions of years later.
