Saltopus
©2015 DeliriouStudios
Name Meaning: Hopping Foot
Diet: Carnivour
Size compared to Human: Mid Shin Hight
Time: Teriassic (227 million years ago)
Appearance
Saltopus was a carnivore, about the size of a domestic cat, with hollow bones like those of a bird. It may have weighed in at around two pounds (one kilogram). Most of the length was accounted for by the tail. Based on related forms, it probably had a long head with dozens of sharp teeth. It had five-fingered hands, with the fourth and fifth finger reduced in size. These dinosaurs did not have any kind of feathers as they had not evolved yet.
Behaviour
Unfortunately very little fossil evidence exists of poor little Saltopus, but we guess that little Salty would have either lived in solitary and came together to mate like some modern lizards. Or they lived in large packs to protect them selves like modern small birds. They would probably eat anything they could get their claws on, be it scraps, insects, fish and maybe even each other.
