If you glance to the right (or above, if you're on our mobile site), you will notice a top ten list of the shortest dinosaurs by height, plucked from our prehistoric database.
If a dinosaur is added to the site with the appropriate strangle-hold-breaking stats, this list will be updated automagically.
Please bear in mind that sizes are based on often shabby remains and every expert has his or her own opinion. We've gone for the shortest size when several estimates are available.
Guestimation isn't a foolproof scientific method, but sometimes it's all we have.
