Sinovenator

Sinovenator was a small dinosaur that lived in China during the early Cretaceous period, between about 130 and 125 million years ago.

Sinovenator was about 3½ feet (1 meter) long, and was probably omnivorous (ate both meat and plant material). It probably lived in woodland areas and is thought to have been a fast runner.

In the picture above, it is shown with feathers - although there is (at the time of writing) no direct evidence that Sinovenator had feathers, we do know that some of its close relatives, other members of the Troodontidae family, did have feathers. Additionally, at the time of writing, no complete skull from Sinovenator has yet been found, so the depiction of the head in the picture is somewhat speculative.

Sinovenator Timeline:

Sinovenator was an omnivore (ate meat and plants) that lived from 130 to 125 million years ago
