What the name means: Graceful jaw
Compsognathus was a small predatory dinosaur that lived in Europe about 150 million years ago. It was one of the smallest dinosaurs. Compsognathus resembled a small bipedal lizard with a long neck. These dinosaurs weighed around 3 kg and stood about 50 cm tall, no larger than modern roosters. Young Compsognathus could even fit in a human palm. Thanks to its large round eyes, Compsognathus had excellent night vision, sharp small teeth, and limbs with grasping clawed fingers. This set of features allowed the reptile to easily handle smaller animals, such as lizards.
