Echinodon
Echinodon was a tiny dinosaur that lived in England during the earliest Cretaceous period. It had sharp, pointy teeth that gave it its name, but it was a plant-eater that used its beak to crop vegetation.12

Dintlha tse di monate
Echinodon is one of the smallest and youngest heterodontosaurid dinosaurs known, living about 145 million years ago.1
Its name means 'prickly tooth' because of its sharp, pointed teeth, which were different from the flat teeth of many other plant-eaters.1
Echinodon lived alongside other dinosaurs like Owenodon and Nuthetes, as well as many small mammals, in a warm, lagoonal environment.1
The first Echinodon fossils were jaw bones found by collector Samuel Beckles, and they were originally thought to belong to a lizard.1
Echinodon had a beak made of keratin, like modern birds, which it used to crop plants before chewing them with its teeth.1
Scientists once thought Echinodon might be a stegosaur or a lizard, but now they know it is a heterodontosaurid dinosaur.1

Dipotso tse di botswang thata ka ga Echinodon
?How big was Echinodon?
Echinodon was very small. Its skull was only about 62 millimetres (2.4 inches) long, making it one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs.12
?What did Echinodon eat?
Echinodon was a plant-eater. It used its beak to crop plants and its sharp teeth to chew them, though some scientists once thought it might have eaten insects too.12

- Scientists still debate whether Echinodon was a herbivore or an omnivore, because its sharp teeth might have been used for eating insects or meat as well as plants.12
