Description
Disclaimer: I realized that the covering of protofeathers i my reconstruction is rather unlikely, as other small ornithischians like Psittacosaurus were mostly covered in scales. Heterodontosaurus probably was a bit more scaly than my version.

Taxonomy: Dinosauria - Ornithischia - Heterodontosauridae
Length: About 120 - 130 cm
Weight: About 3.7 - 4.9 kg

Heterodontosaurus was a small dinosaur from the early Jurassic of South Africa. Its name ("different-toothed lizard") comes from their unusual canines in their upper and lower jaws. Heterodontosaurus was likely herbivorous, although it could also have been omnivorous.

I painted it almost fully covered in protofeathers, althought it is not known how many of them it actually had, if any.
