Saltopus was a genus of very small bipedal dinosaur that lived in the late Triassic period, about 225-222 million years ago. This was when the Earth was warmer than it is today. In 1910, fossils were found in Scotland by Friedrich von. The name means \"jumping foot\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the remains found were incomplete, so some information about the creature is uncertain. However, it was the size of a small cat, with hollow bones like those of a bird, a long head with dozens of small, sharp teeth. It had five fingers on its hands, but the fourth and fifth fingers were tiny. It was a carnivore that had eaten mostly insects, or a scavenger ate the carcasses it found. It walked on two legs and was a relatively fast runner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saltopus was 80 to 100 cm long and weighed 1 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
