Well surprise surprise, according to CNN.com, Canadian scientists have found the smallest dinosaur that roamed North America, the Hesperonychus Elizabethae.
Running on two legs with sickle claws and dagger teeth, the artist's renditions of the dinosaur portayed something along the lines of a cross between squirrel, goose, penguin, and dinosaur.
Complete with bushy tail, duck beaked head, two legs, and beady little eyes, these chicken like animals coudl be dangerous predators.
Small as it was, the dinosaur also preyed on the weak, the scientists assumed its diet consisted of insects, smaller animals, and... interestingly enough... baby dinosaurs.
I wonder if these things are edible, have roasted birdsquirreldinosaur for lunch. Looking something like a partridge.
But I will refrain from going back in time and hunting one down, since they are probably more dangerous than they appear

ReplyDeleteAnd only you would think of eating one :/
I bet that squirrel at school is a descendent of this critter here. Roaming around campus...threatening schoolchildren...hunting...waiting.
