Heterodontosaurus was a tiny, speedy dinosaur that lived in the Early Jurassic. It had three kinds of teeth, just like some mammals today, and a beak at the front of its mouth. This little plant-eater could run fast to escape bigger predators.1

1

Heterodontosaurus means 'different-teeth lizard' because it had three types of teeth: small incisors, tall canine-like teeth, and grinding cheek teeth.1

2

This dinosaur lived about 205 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic period.1

3

Heterodontosaurus was only about 1.2 metres (4 feet) long, about the size of a large dog.1

4

It had a horny beak at the front of its mouth, like a bird or turtle, to help it bite off plants.1

5

Fossils of Heterodontosaurus have been found in South Africa and Lesotho, and one possible fossil came from Mexico.41

6

Scientists think Heterodontosaurus could run quickly on its long hind legs to escape predators.1
