Physical Appearance
I am going to tell you about what a Othnielia looks
like. Othnielia was about 4 feet long weighing about
50 pounds. The Othnielia length was a few inches
shorter than me and weighs the same as a medium
size dog. The Othnielia was a by-pedal runner. This
means it ran on two legs. It is similar to a bird’s beak
nowadays. The Othnielia had thin legs and a stiffened
tail. This helped it have speed and agility. These are
some cool facts about what the Othnielia looks like.

Hunting and Eating Habits
Several things can describe the hunting and eating
habits of the Othnielia. The Othnielia was a
herbivore. A herbivore is a dinosaur that only ate
plants. Next the Othnielia had chisel like cheek
teeth. It used those teeth for eating its food. Finally
it may have lived in herds. They lived in herds so they
could protect them self's and help each other. These
are some fascinating facts about the hunting and
eating habits of the Othnielia.

Other interesting facts
1.
There are several other interesting facts
about the Othnielia. The Othnielia lived during the
Jurassic Period about 156-145 million years ago.
That’s more than 10 centuries ago. Next Othnielia
was named after Charles Othniel Mash. Charles
Othniel Mash was a paleontologist and the
Othnielia was named by Galton. Finally fossils of two
partial skeletons and teeth were found in Colorado
and Utah. Utah and Colorado are a long ways from
here. These are clearly really cool facts about the
Othnielia.
