Proceratosaurus

Proceratosaurus was a small, carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic period, around 170 million years ago. It was a member of the theropod group of dinosaurs, which also includes well-known species such as Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor. Proceratosaurus was probably around 2.5 to 3 meters (8 to 10 feet) long and weighed around 100 kg (220 lbs). It had a relatively small head with a distinctive bony crest on its snout, which may have been used for display. Proceratosaurus had long, slender legs and arms, and its fingers and toes were tipped with sharp claws. It likely had a high metabolism and was able to move quickly, making it well-suited for hunting small prey. Fossils of Proceratosaurus have been found in England, Portugal, and Germany.
