Description: Dubreuillosaurus is a genus of small, carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 130-125 million years ago. It was a member of the group of dinosaurs called the coelurosaurs, which includes a diverse group of animals that are characterized by their small size, agile bodies, and feathers. Dubreuillosaurus was a small, agile dinosaur, with an estimated length of about 6-7 feet and a weight of up to 50 pounds. It had a small, triangular head with a pair of large, forward-facing eyes and a mouth full of small, sharp teeth. It had a long, slender neck and body, with long, powerful legs and a long, flexible tail. Dubreuillosaurus is known from a number of well-preserved fossil specimens, including several complete skeletons and skulls, which have helped paleontologists learn more about the anatomy and behavior of this dinosaur. It is known from Europe, and is named after the French paleontologist Henri Dubreuil. Dubreuillosaurus was a carnivorous dinosaur, feeding on a variety of prey animals including other dinosaurs, mammals, and birds. It is considered a primitive coelurosaur, and is thought to be closely related to other members of this group such as Coppens spoof, Epidendrosaurus, and Juravenator. Dubreuillosaurus is important because it is one of the best-known coelurosaurs, and provides insight into the anatomy and behavior of this group of dinosaurs. It is also significant because it is one of the few known coelurosaurs that is known from well-preserved fossil specimens, and provides important evidence for the evolutionary relationships and diversity of these animals.
