Most palaeontologists believe compsognathus was the smallest dinosaur, but recent discoveries of an a dinosaur, micropachycephalosaurus that may be the smallest dinosaur ever and has the longest name ever given to a dinosaur!
The smallest dinosaur is said to be the compsognathus.Its just 2 feet long and weighs only up to 6.5 pounds. There are a few more small dinosaurs which have the same heeight of the compsognathus.They are the saltopus and the echinodon.
Current holder of the title: Musasaurus, the "mouse" dinosaur
The smallest adult fossil of a herbivorous dinosaur belongs to Echinodon becklesii.
The smallest dinosaur known is the Parvicursor remotus, which was ony 12 to 15 inches long and is estimated to have weighed 4.8 and 5.7 ounces. Parvicursor was a tiny, bipedal feathered theropod dinosaur. It was an Alvarezsaurid, so it only had a single finger, with a claw. It may have used that claw to dig into termite mounds. To escape predators, they would have run quite fast.
The smallest dinosaur was once Compsognathus, but has been overtaken by newer discoveries, Micropachycephalosaurus is among the smallest of the dinosaurs now, despite having the longest name. Wannanosaurus could also be one of the smallest. Currently the smallest known non-avian dinosaur was a small feathered carnivore called Anchiornis. If you include birds, which are now classified as dinosaurs, the smallest would be the bee hummingbird.
compsognathus is the smallest dinosaur and is the size of a chicken, but palaeontologists have just discovered 'micropachycephalosaurus' which might be even smaller and has the longest name of any dinosaur so far!
A dinosaur. Certainly.
the biggest dinosaur was amphicoealis fragillimimus and the smallest dinosaur microraptor or frutaidens
The smallest dinosaur is Microraptor, probably less than 1 ft tall, and is 2 ft long.
Epidexipteryx is the smallest known dinosaur. It weighed only 0.36 lb.
The smallest dinosaur is a humming bird.
The Compsognathus.
the smallest dinosaur is a stegosaurus with a 2.5 once brain
The smallest meat-eating dinosaur ever was Microraptor, at 2 feet long and lighter than a turkey.
your anel hole!
