Fruitadens is the smallest known ornithischian dinosaur, a group that includes many plant-eaters.1 2

Its lower jaw had an enlarged canine-like tooth, with a gap in the upper jaw for it to fit.1

Unlike many other dinosaurs, Fruitadens had replacement teeth growing in its jaws, like modern mammals.1

The fossils were first found in the 1970s and 1980s by teams from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.1

Fruitadens lived alongside snails, clams, turtles, and early mammals in a floodplain environment.1

Its leg bones were hollow, like those of small meat-eating dinosaurs, which helped keep it light.1
