The dinosaur that had to keep their existence amid scores of debacles billions of years ago was a tiny one named Fruitaden. It was so tiny that it could easily run fast amid the big pillar like legs of its taller counterparts. The creature was so small that it just looked like a squirrel and weighed only 2 pounds or less. The length of the squirrel like dinosaur was 28 inches from the deadly jaws to the long tail. Though small the Fruitaden never lagged behind in valor and charisma that the others enjoyed in our beautiful planet at that very ancient period when the beautiful earth was covered with lush green all around.

The name Fruitaden is derived from the word teeth like fruits. Though he name is associated with fruits the tiny creatures had no interests in fruits, rather they preferred all types of food that was available at hand. The tiny dinosaurs were interested to take the small plants as their chief diet they were quite expert in hunting small animals too. Fruitadens were expert hunters and never lagged in hunting skills from the giant ones in all respect.

The new studies are revealing detailed descriptions of the animals that once scampered amid the green forest in a hurry. New sources bring before us new names such as the Fruitadens though there is controversy while depicting the exact features of the small dinosaurs. So far analyzing the collected data the scientists are trying hard to offer us a vivid description of the small dinosaurs that loomed large in the corners of the ancient earth millions of years ago.

The Fruitadens are the smallest dinosaurs that moved freely in the vast parts of the North America . Probably 150 billion years ago they came to the earth to be lost among the throng of the giant ones. Traces of their fight for existence are revealed in different researches carried on by the scientists. According to scientists the Fruitadens are regarded one of the deadliest primitive species of the dinosaur groups who were notable for their terrific speed and fierce aggression.

Thirty years ago the bones of these species discovered in the North America were kept in the Los Angeles museums. But detailed studies were not made with the remnants of their body. In the recent past enough light is thrown on the particular species and many wonderful data are revealed one by one about the small dinosaur.

What the scientists are willing to tell about the Fruitadens is that they had to struggle hard for survival as their giant neighbors were always against them. Whenever there was a close encounter, the Fruitadens had to lose their lives being attacked by the giant dinosaurs that were absolutely carnivores. To find the way of escape from the attack of the big dinosaurs like the Allosaurus the little creatures had to move quite carefully lest they could avoid the sweep of the big ones.

According to the scientists, Fruitdens were very agile and sportive in hunting and followed different techniques while attacking small creatures. Close examinations of the body parts of he Fruitadens reveals the fact that the small creatures were actually omnivorous and ate whatever they found. This typical food habit gave them a special place among the hundred species of dinosaurs that loomed large in the green earth billions of years ago.
