A Gallimimus and Me
"A gallimimus was a prehistoric dinosaur that could run at the speed of over 30 miles per hour! It ate tiny insects, small animals, eggs and plants, so it was an omnivore and it ate what was available. It was estimated to be about 6 metres wide and 2.5 metres tall. If I met a gallimimus I would have a race against it to see how fast it really is. I would definitely have a meal with it in its home, which is now known as Mongolia. Maybe I could help it escape an Alioramus, one of the gallimimus's predators in the cretaceous period, the time that the gallimimuses were alive."

You've been designing brilliant new contenders for the Astonishing Amazon Animal Showdown – piranhas with jaws that regrow in whole quarters, a hoatzin that ferments its dinner in a throat pouch, a tailless whip scorpion that senses danger through its legs, and a jaguar with one of the most powerful bites of any mammal. Thank you to every reader who did the research and made the case for their champion.
