redimimus

Redimimus is a genus of theropod dinosaurs known from fragmentary fossil remains. Because the fossils are limited, the exact relationships of Redimimus within Theropoda remain debated. Most analyses have tentatively placed it within Ornithomimosauria, the group of long-legged, feathered theropods often likened to ostriches, but some researchers have questioned this placement.

Temporal and geographic information are poorly constrained; additional material would be needed to determine its age more precisely or to identify its locality. The available material suggests a small to medium-sized, lightly built animal with proportions suited for running. If correctly characterized as an ornithomimosaur, Redimimus would have had a beaked mouth and small teeth, with a likely omnivorous or herbivorous diet, though specific evidence for Redimimus is lacking.

Because the genus is represented by fragmentary remains, much about its appearance, behavior, and ecology remains speculative. The name Redimimus appears in the scientific literature as a theropod genus, but its etymology and the validity of the genus have been subject to review in later studies.
