Dintlha tse monate
Pendraig is the oldest-known meat-eating dinosaur found in the UK, living about 200 million years ago.1
Its name means 'chief dragon' in Welsh, and it was named after Angela Milner, a famous scientist at the Natural History Museum.1
Pendraig was very small, with a femur (thigh bone) estimated to be only about 10 centimetres long.2
It lived on islands, and scientists think it might have shrunk in size because of limited food and space, a process called island miniaturisation.1
The fossils were found in a quarry in the 1950s, but scientists only realised it was a new species in 2021.1
Pendraig was a coelophysoid, a group of slender, long-snouted carnivorous dinosaurs that lived in the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic.1

?How big was Pendraig?
About 1 metre (3.3 feet) long, small enough to fit in your arms. Its thigh bone was only about 10 centimetres long.31
?What did Pendraig eat?
It was a meat-eater. Scientists think it ate other small animals, because its relatives had sharp, serrated teeth for eating meat.2
Mosenyi wa ditshomo
Tshomo: Some people think Pendraig was a baby of a larger dinosaur, but scientists aren't sure.
Nnete: The small size might be because the bones are from a juvenile, but it could also be a genuinely small species. Scientists can't confirm if it was a baby or a small adult.1

- The bones were found in 1952 at Pant-y-ffynnon Quarry in Wales, but they were not studied in detail until later. In 2021, scientists named it Pendraig milnerae, honouring Angela Milner.1

- Scientists are still debating whether Pendraig was small because it was a juvenile or because of island dwarfism, and they also debate the exact age of the rocks where it was found.2
