The Infraorder Ornithomimosauria includes an advanced group of active dinosaurs. They had small heads with no teeth, huge eyes, and a long slim neck. The hind legs were long and thin, and the arms were delicate. The tail was long and thin. They must have looked very like featherless ostriches, and may have fed on animals and plants.
