Ornithomimus dinosaurs had very straight and slender hand claws. Their fingers and hand bones grew to nearly identical lengths. The inner sides of these claws were flat instead of deeply curved. Paleontologists note that these bones looked much like the long claws of modern tree sloths.
These dinosaurs actively used their straight claws to pull down high tree branches. This trick helped them reach fruits and fresh leaves. Their toothless beaks also allowed them to chew plants easily. They could hook insects out of rotting tree logs with their slender fingertips.
The fast animals relied on their long hind legs to sprint away from predators. Their feet had flat toe claws that acted like running spikes in loose soil. This shape gave them excellent traction during high-speed chases. The flat design also stopped the claws from snapping during sharp turns.
