Description
Lesothosaurus diagnosticus
Named by Peter Galton, 1978
Diet: Herbivore (Plants such as ferns)
Type: Basal (Genasauria) ornithischian dinosaur
Size: 3.3 feet (1 meter) long and 8 lb.
Region: Africa [Lesotho (Hence its generic name) and South Africa]
Age: Early Jurassic (201.3 to 190.8 million BC; Hettangian to Sinemurian)
Enemies: Coelophysis rhodesiensis and Dracovenator
Episode: Walking with Dinosaurs: Inside Their World app
Info: Named after the tiny country of Lesotho in Southern Africa where it was found, Lesothosaurus was a small, bipedal dinosaur that would've been swift and agile across the arid landscape, feeding on the vegetation with its hard, horny beak and pointed groove-edged teeth. Originally thought to be an ornithopod, its now thought that Lesothosaurus was primitive (basal) member of the ornithischia (bird-hipped) order.

Based on
As in the Triassic dinosaurs, the proto-feathers is based on those of Kulindadromeus, since this is a basal, or primitive, member in the Dinosauria.
