Compsognathus was a small, agile dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. It was about the size of a chicken, measuring around 3 feet long. This dinosaur had a slender body, long legs, and a long tail, which helped it run quickly. Fossils of Compsognathus have been found in Europe, particularly in Germany and France. This dinosaur is often depicted as a carnivore, likely feeding on small animals and insects. Its sharp teeth and lightweight frame made it an effective hunter. Compsognathus is also famous for its appearance in the movie Jurassic Park, where it showcased its speed and agility.
