High Five Facts - Compsognathus

The video provides five fascinating facts about the Comsog Nasis dinosaur. Initially known as the smallest dinosaur, it was later surpassed by another species. The Comsog Nasis was about the size of a large chicken, with good eyesight due to its large eyes. It lived around 150 million years ago in Europe during the late Jurassic period, favoring warm climates. Despite its small size, it was a carnivore, preying on lizards and insects, and was a fast runner with short arms and clawed fingers. The Comsog Nasis had a long tail for balance and hollow bones for speed. Discovered in the 1850s in Bavaria, only two fossils have been found, one containing a lizard skeleton, confirming its carnivorous diet.
