## Compsognathus in Real Life

Further information: WP:Compognathus

Compsognathus was a Coelurosaurian dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago in Earth's history in what is now the European continent. Compsognathus was diminutive in size, with estimations that an adult was between 1.25 m (4 ft 1 in) and 1.4 m (4 ft 7 in) in length, and 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) and 3.5 kg (7.7 lb) in weight. Its close relative, Sinosauropteryx, was known to be fully coated in fur-like feathers with orange and white-to-cream stripes on its tail. Compsognathus was a carnivore and hunted lizards and likely other small animals, and was likely an agile predator given its long legs and tail. It lived along many animals in the diverse tropical archipelago of Jurassic europe, including the famed "first bird" Archaeopteryx, both known specimen of Compsognathus were preserved in the lagoons of these isles.

The name Compsognathus means "Dainty Jaw" or "Elegant Jaw", derived from Greek.
