A Psittacosaurus Pausing on a Grassy Hill
A young Psittacosaurus takes a break while positioned on a grassy hill next to a picnic mat and a large backpack. The gentle slope gives a clear view of the surrounding outdoor landscape.
Discovering the Life of Psittacosaurus
Psittacosaurus, often called the parrot lizard, earned its name due to its prominent curved beak which resembled that of a modern parrot. Well-preserved fossils discovered in Asia reveal that this small dinosaur possessed long bristles along the top of its tail. Unlike larger horned dinosaurs, Psittacosaurus walked primarily on its hind legs while using its shorter front limbs for grasping plant stems.
