Its name means chicken imitator. Due to its light build and long hind legs, it was adapted for running, which was its great asset to escape from predators! Its appearance is reminiscent of an ostrich given its long neck and toothless beak. It had small hands with three curved claws, which were used to rake the ground in search of food.
