Gallimimus Size Comparison
Gallimimus 3D Viewer pairs published Late Cretaceous ornithomimosaur figures with a 1.8 m person on screen - length about 6 m (largest individuals up to 7-8 m in some sources; Size vs human uses 6 m), hip height about 1.9 m, and weight about 400-490 kg - so the scale gap stays readable at a glance.
Gallimimus published figures
The Gallimimus facts panel and this table disclose published ranges rather than one invented single number; the Size vs human control uses 6 m as the length scale ratio:
| Measure | Figure | Vs a 1.8 m person |
|---|---|---|
| Length | about 6 m; largest individuals up to 7-8 m in some sources; Size vs human uses 6 m | ~3.3x a person end-to-end at the 6 m scale figure |
| Hip height | about 1.9 m | about the same height as a standing person at the hips |
| Weight | about 400-490 kg (other estimates as low as 227 kg) | sources disagree by individual - shown as a range |
| Speed / anatomy | running estimate about 42-56 km/h (Thulborn, 1982); long neck (feats.longNeck); toothless beak (teeth: beak); diet and feathering unresolved/inferred | fastest speed estimate among shipped species in this collection |
| When it lived | ~70 million years ago (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian), Nemegt Formation, Gobi Desert, Mongolia | named 1972 by Osmolska, Roniewicz and Barsbold; holotype IGM 100/11 found 1964 |
How the Gallimimus size-vs-human toggle stays honest
The Gallimimus model is drawn to a fixed on-screen length so it fits the canvas; the Size vs human control then places a 1.8 m person at the true length ratio used by the viewer (6 m). Tap Size vs human under the canvas to show or hide the scale figure - the comparison is proportional, not a decorative sticker. Published length still spans about 6 m with largest individuals up to 7-8 m in some sources, so the toggle picks one clear scale inside that disclosed range.
What a person would see beside a Gallimimus
What a person would see is a bipedal, ostrich-like runner with a long neck and a toothless beak - turn on the person in the viewer and orbit beside a hind leg to feel how the body sits relative to the scale figure. Skin color is an artistic reconstruction; the viewer does not invent a settled diet or direct feather fossils for this genus.
What the Gallimimus size numbers are not
What these size numbers are not is a claim of one precise length, weight, or speed: the Gallimimus size comparison discloses the about 6 m (up to 7-8 m), 400-490 kg (as low as 227 kg), and 42-56 km/h ranges and uses 6 m only for the Size vs human scale; it does not invent a settled diet or direct Gallimimus feather fossils, no free-licensed Gallimimus glTF is re-hosted yet so the viewer stays procedural with longNeck and beak, and this is not a win/lose game.

Other dinosaurs to compare
Other dinosaurs in the collection make useful size comparisons too: Gallimimus is a Late Cretaceous Gobi ornithomimosaur, so for a larger contemporary apex predator see the Tyrannosaurus rex 3D Viewer, or for another fast bipedal theropod already shipped see the Velociraptor 3D Viewer.
