Magyarosaurus

Magyarosaurus was one of the smallest adult sauropods, measuring about 6 metres (20 feet) long and weighing up to 972 kilograms (2,143 pounds).3

It was a dwarf dinosaur because it lived on an island with limited food, a process called island dwarfism. Scientists confirmed this by studying its bone growth.34

No, Magyarosaurus was a sauropod and did not have feathers. It had scaly skin and some bony armour plates called osteoderms.3

Magyarosaurus was a plant-eater, like all sauropods. It ate ferns, cycads and other vegetation that grew on its island home.3

Magyarosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 71 to 66 million years ago.3

Yes, Magyarosaurus was a dinosaur. It was a sauropod, a long-necked plant-eating dinosaur.3

Nobody knows for sure, but like most sauropods it probably lived on land and was not a strong swimmer. It lived on an island, so it may have waded in shallow water.3

Scientists do not know its exact speed, but as a small sauropod it was likely slower than a modern horse. Its leg bones suggest it was not built for fast running.3
