Description

The Hypsilophodon was an omnivorous dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period. Growing up to 2m long, the Hypsilophodon would use its sharp beak to shear off plant material for consumption. An excellent runner, the Hypsilophodon was bipedal and had an opposable fifth digit on each hand that could be used to grasp vegetation.
