Small dinosaur. Big attitude. 🦖

Meet Compsognathus Longipes, one of the smallest dinosaurs ever discovered. Living around 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period, this fast little carnivore may have been tiny, but it was still a skilled hunter.

Could you imagine coming face-to-face with one of these? 👀

Discover more prehistoric giants and tiny terrors at Kent’s Cavern this summer.
