How fast was it?
Anndal belɗungal
Procompsognathus means 'before elegant jaw' because it lived earlier than a similar dinosaur called Compsognathus.1
Its shin bone was about 20 percent longer than its thigh bone, which helped it run very fast.1
Some scientists once thought the skull belonged to a crocodile relative, but later studies showed it was a true dinosaur.1
It shared its home with other early dinosaurs like Plateosaurus and the meat-eating Halticosaurus.1
