About Zephyrosaurus
Zephyrosaurus was a small herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, around 155 to 145 million years ago. It was a member of the ornithischian group of dinosaurs and belonged to the family of Camptosauridae. It was a bipedal dinosaur, meaning it walked on two legs, and had a relatively small body size, with a length of around 2 to 3 meters (6.5 to 10 feet). It had a long, slender neck and a small head with a beak-like snout and cheek teeth suitable for grinding plants. It had small, triangular-shaped thumb claws that may have been used for defense or digging. Zephyrosaurus is known from fragmentary remains found in England and Portugal.
