Dzharacursor bissektensis is a new genus of Ornithomimid from the Bissekty Formation and was historically considered to be a species of Archaeornithomimus
What would you do if an Ornithomimid death stared you?
What would you do if the Volcano erupted?
What would you do if you found a dead Hadrosaur which is still fresh?
What would you do if you saw a Mosasaurus?
What would you do if a Megalania Bit you?
I believe Ornithomimids, while primarily herbivores, would kill small mammals and baby dinosaurs by kicking them. To run as fast as they do, they must have some serious leg muscle, and thus plenty of power in their legs. If a dromaeosaur was to attack, I think it would try to run, and if that fails, kick them. A kick from an Ornithomimid would be able to shatter bone, killing or fatally wounding a predator. It’s not unreasonable, modern ostriches or cassowaries have powerful kicks as well.
We often picture Ornithomimids as just prey animals, but with my theory I believe it possible that actually they would take on and kill predators like Velociraptor and Juvenile Tyrannosaurs. Let me know below what you guys think…
This isn't actually for dinosaurs of Alaska it's just. My own thing. The scene will be in the book though.
Some people were confused about the size so I want to point out that the Alaskan ornithomimid is 10 feet long and Troodons from Alaska are 13 feet long
Feel free to review the accuracy
So this is a wip of a scene in Dinosaurs of Alaska where a Troodon attacks a ornithomimid. I don't think it's inaccurate but I'm not sure so I want to check in with you guys
The False-Ostrich (Struthioherpeton Apomimisi) is an Ornithomimid. Nor much to say here apart from the fact that the wing feathers are intentionally inaccurate because this is Soft Speculative Evolution, not Hard Speculative Evolution.
Size compared to crested Hunter because they're fairly similar in size.
70 million years ago, a murder goose roamed the floodplains of what is now Mongolia. Today, we all gather together to continue its legacy! WORSHIP THE DUCK! WORSHIP THE GOOSE! WORSHIP THE ONE AND ONLY, DEINOCHEIRUS (or else, prepare to say goodbye to your family)! NOW!
This is me if you don't join the Deinocheirus cult:

@Cooner21 get mentioned dumbass
Rheamimus Bromlei (Professor Bromley's Rhea Mimic) is named after Rheas, a type of Paleognaths related to ostriches.
Length: 3 meters (9.84 feet)
Weight: 100 kilograms (220 lbs)
Time period: 1.5 MYA-recent
Location: Mexico
Nobody knows why Rheamimus lacks feathers on its underside. It's possibly to keep cool, or perhaps it has no purpose at all.

How about this: when dinos like Struthiomimus, Ornithomimus, Gallimimus, etc. lived in herds they ate plants, and when alone or in pairs they ate insects, small animals, and even eggs. All right?
The theory I'm talking about involves Dromaeosaurids, Oviraptorosaurs, and maybe Therizinosaurs, Ornithomimosaurs, Pterosaurs, and Troodontids having the behaviour similar to that of the Black eagle and Shoebill stork.
Now, to those who don't know what the Black eagle is, the Black eagle (Ictinaetus malaiensis) is a bird of prey. The birds of prey of course consisted of hawks, eagles, falcons, vultures, and owls. The Black eagle is known for letting their children kill each other, which is similar to the Shoebill stork (although, I got that info from Casual Geographic and Be Amazed so I might have gotten and explained that terribly, so if I got that wrong, be sure to correct me). So the theory is, what if Dromaeosaurids, Troodontids, Oviraptorosaurs, Therizinosaurs, Ornithomimosaurs, and Pterosaurs did something similar to that of Shoebills or Black eagles?
Let's take Acheroraptor for example. An Acheroraptor mother is at the nest and it sees 2 of its children fighting each other, it of course watches and let's the stronger sibling kills the weaker one. Or, the Acheroraptor mother is away from the nest and then, while the mother is away, the older/stronger sibling attacks and hurts the younger/weaker sibling, and then, later on, the younger and weaker sibling dies due to its injuries it sustained from the older and stronger sibling.
Because the Dromaeosaurids were likely similar to that of birds of prey, this made me think, what if Dromaeosaurids were similar to that of the Black eagles or Shoebill storks? Think about that for a moment, Dromaeosaurids were similar to that of birds of prey so, if they were similar to that of birds of prey, they probably could have had a similar behaviour to that of the Black eagle, or, though not a bird of prey, the Shoebill storks. Of course, this is just a theory, a paleo theory.

I didn't reference this to a certain genus of ornithomimid
