Pelecanimimus

Pelecanimimus is a small ornithomimosaur, at about 2.5 m long and weighing 17-30 kg. It had 220 teeth in its long narrow skull, the most of any known theropod. This is especially unusual as almost all other ornithomimosaurs had no teeth at all. It also sported a pouch similar to the larger pouches of modern pelicans, from which Pelecanimimus took its name.

Pelecanimimus did such a power move. Not only does it has teeth unlike most toothless Ornithomimosaurs, it also apparently decided to have more teeth than any other theropod. "Oh cousin struthi you dont have teeth? Wah wah I have two hundred and two of them"
