A newly identified dinosaur species, Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, will be displayed at the Natural History Museum. Originally categorized as a Nanosaurus, the small herbivore lived around 150 million years ago and measured approximately one meter long. Its long legs allowed it to evade predators while foraging in the era of giant dinosaurs like Stegosaurus. Experts noted it wasn't fully grown when it died, as indicated by its fused neural arches. This will be the first new dinosaur display at the museum since 2014, emphasizing the overlooked diversity of smaller herbivorous dinosaurs.
