Kinnareemimus Dinosaur is an extinct genus of ornithomimosaur (ostrich-like dinosaur) that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period of Mongolia and China. Its fossils have been found at the Barun Goyot Formation in Mongolia and Turpan-Hami Basin in China. Kinnareemimus was a small theropod that had a long, slender neck and a light, gracile skeleton with long, slender arms and legs.
Its fossilized skeleton has been described as one of the most graceful among the ornithomimosaurs. It was about 3 meters (9.8 ft) long, and its weight is uncertain, but it probably weighed less than 50 kg (110 lbs). Kinnareemimus had a relatively long, pointed snout, and it had large eyes and long, feathered arms. Its front legs were particularly long and its three middle toes were tipped with large, hoof-like claws that suggest that it fed on small animals, insects, and plant material.

Its neck was quite flexible, and its long beak was probably well-adapted for catching and manipulating small prey items like insects. Kinnareemimus probably lived in a semi-arid grassland or open woodland environment, and it probably moved about in large flocks of its own kind and other small dinosaurs. Although it was an active, alert, and agile creature, its size and low body weight meant that it posed little threat to larger predators like Tyrannosaurus or Tarbosaurus.
Kinnareemimus was one of the first dinosaurs to be discovered in the Barun Goyot Formation of Mongolia, and one of the few to be excavated from Turpan-Hami Basin. Its discovery was instrumental in the development of the field of palaeontology in Central Asia, and it still inspires awe and wonder today.
