Museum dinosaur display preparation. Workers from the National Museum of Natural History, Paris, France, unloading the fossilised skeleton of a Struthiomimus dinosaur that has been loaned to the museum for the 2011 exhibition In the Shadow of the Dinosaurs . Struthiomimus was a member of the Ornithomimosaurs (so called because of their resemblance to birds). The head, neck and legs resemble those of ostrich-like running birds, allowing swiftness and agility in changing direction. Photographed in France.
