If you remember the scene in the original Jurassic Park film - 'see the way they move', 'flocking in a uniform direction as if trying to evade a predator' - the herd of these dinosaurs streaming over the hillside and then being ambushed by a T-Rex. In this model, you can capture the atmosphere from this film - four Gallimimus running in a uniform direction with two shrieking and one looking backwards as if  being chased. This model is called 'Mongolian Dash'.
