Dzharacursor is an ornithomimid theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of what is now Uzbekistan. Ornithomimids like Dzharacursor are known for their long legs lending to a cursorial, or running, lifestyle. They had a feathered covering, and were likely omnivorous, or possibly herbivorous. Adult Dzharacursor could grow to approximately 3.5 m in length. © TotalDino · CC BY 4.0 · Wikimedia
