Researchers in Wales have found a dinosaur that
is some 215 million and 200 million years ago, during the late Triassic period.
Called Pendraig milnerae They say that It existed at the beginning of the evolution of the meat-eating dinosaurs and was as small as a chicken. But it was not the size of a. T. rex.
It was it about 1 meter or 3 feet long, including its tail, and that it was a theropod — a group of bipedal, mostly meat-eating dinosaurs.
So some evolutionists believe that dinos started small and then grew to their size,
However,
the scientist who reported this dino say that it was dwarf, as Susannah
Maidment says,: "Species which live on islands often tend to become
smaller than those on the mainland in a phenomenon called island dwarfism.."
