The Psittacosaurus was a small, lightweight dinosaur that lived over 100 million years ago. For a dinosaur, it had a rather unusual appearance. Their toothless beak resembled that of a parrot. The carnivore used this beak to crack fruits & seeds. Their tail was equipped with about as many long & thin spines as a porcupine.
