Gallimimus was an Ornithomimid theropod dinosaur with a long neck and legs. Famous as an "egg-eater", it actually ate a variety of foods. Gallimimus fossils are occasionally found in the Flaming Cliffs, Mongolia, which are from around 75 million years ago.
In the game Jurassic Park: Explorer the following information is given about this creature:
Gallimimus was one of the largest Ornithomimosaurs, 'bird mimic lizards'. Its swift running speed was due to its long legs.

Jurassic Park film
Edit
Seen in the famous stampede sequence in the first film. The Gallimimus were running from the T. rex and almost trampled Grant, Lex, and Tim. Luckily for the humans, the Gallimimus doesn't attack Grant, Lex, and Tim, as they are more occupied of escaping from the T. rex, who then came bursting out of the woods and killed one of the Gallimimus.
Its name is also seen in the first embryo cold storage vial.
The Lost World film
Edit
Gallimimus is one of the dinosaurs that was captured by the InGen Hunters in The Lost World. It runs around aimlessly in the chaos that follows the Triceratops's escape in Isla Sorna.
The Lost World novel
Edit
In The Lost World, Gallimimus is indirectly referenced, proving that it exists, on Isla Sorna, in the novel universe. Its name (Gallimimus bullatus) is printed all over a document addressed to Dr. Henry Wu, among the dozens, which are spread, all over the abandoned InGen compound.

- In the video game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, Gallimimus is a three-star herbivore from the Flaming Cliffs formation along with the Velociraptor and the Homalocephale, much like the real world. It is inaccurately depicted as a herbivore, when it, in both real life and Jurassic Park, is an omnivore. This is possibly due to their limitations that resemble a herbivore. Gallimimus can coexist with Dryosaurus and appears to be one of the hardest herbivore to catch by most carnivore dinosaurs. It appeared in the game's demo as well.

- Gallimimus was speculated to appear in Jurassic Park: The Game by fans, however it was not included in the game's dinosaur lineup.
