Fun Facts About Troodon
Troodon lived in the late Cretaceous period in western North America. It was a slim little dino, about 7 feet long including its long tail. Its big eyes faced slightly forward, and its brain was fairly large compared to its body. Scientists aren’t sure exactly what it ate – probably small animals, and maybe plants too. Fun fact: Troodon was named in 1856 based on just one tooth, and experts are still debating which fossils truly belong to it.
