    Default Re: More Dinosaurs than Isla Nublar (okay, not really, PEACH)

    The picture seems to make its hip height around half its nose-to-tail length- which would put it at 12 inches tall at the hip, and taller at the nose if it rears back.

    However, the picture may be misleading.

    Or, if it never rears back, and legs are always bent, it may be shorter than this estimate.

    Dino weights tend to be very speculative. Oftentimes, they end up being revised based on newer information and more plausible layouts of muscles and organs.

    Maybe compare it to other Diminuitive and Tiny animals (thrushes are Diminuitive, but ravens, and cats, are Tiny) and see if you think it's closer to one than the other?
