'''This little hunter was one of the many small predators that lived during the Jurassic period and in some words it would have been the short-eared fox of the prehistoric times, for even though it was small it may have been exceptionally fast to compensate it's thin body. They may have lived in dense forest as form of protection from any larger predatory dinosaurs and so they would have used this environment to hunt down small or baby dinosaurs as well as other forest animals like; lizards, frogs, primitive mammals and insects. They may have been feathered in some areas of their body, possibly used as a type of insulation from colder weather or for warmth in egg laying. They would have been solitary hunters searching throughout the entire forest looking for their next meal.'''

'''Wondering outside of the protection of the forests into vast open fields may have been too risky for they could plucked out by larger predators almost immediately because of the most basic rule in the jungle, "survival of the fittest". They would be able to survive more easily in the dry seasons because of how small they are and so they then need less food and water to have than the other larger dinosaurs which need large quantities of resources to survive through an entire season.'''
