The Chuandongocoelurus is a theropod dinosaur that lived on Earth during the Jurassic period. They are believed to be former residents of China. They belong to the clades Saurischia, and Theropoda. The naming of this species dates back to 1984 when He Xinlu, a Chinese paleontologist, gave the dinosaur this name drawing reference from a couple of partial skeletons.
It is pronounced as 'Chwahn-dong-o-si-lure-us'.
The Chuandongocoelurus was a carnivore belonging to the clade of theropods.
These dinosaurs were said to belong to the Jurassic period.
It is not known when exactly these dinosaurs became Extinct.
This carnivore lived in China.
These animals lived in a habitat filled with forests. They lived in warm temperatures. The habitat of this species was devoid of any ice caps.
It is not known whether the Chuandongocoelurus was a social animal or not.
The exact lifespan of this individual is not evaluated yet.
These animals were oviparous.
All information regarding the physical appearance of the Chuandongocoelurus is derived from its specimen consisting of the partial skeleton which is comprised of pelvic bones, hindlimb elements, and vertebrae among other parts. He Xinlu, the Chinese paleontologist, first described the specimen of this animal. Based on the vertebrae, hindlimb elements, and pelvic bones of the partial skeleton, similarities in appearance were found with the Elaphrosaurus which was a ceratosaur. It is not known how colorful they were.
In general, dinosaurs had about 200 bones in their body.
All dinosaurs mostly communicated through sounds and gestures.
The Chuandongocoelurus measured about 8 in (20 cm) in length. It was much smaller compared to the length of a T-rex.
The speed of a Chuandongocoelurus is not known.
The weight of an average individual of this genus is still unknown.
There are no separate names for males and females of this species.
A baby dinosaur is called a hatchling or nestling.
This individual was a carnivore. So it can be assumed that they were aggressive to a certain extent.
