Where Were All the Tiny Dinosaurs? Scientists May Finally Have an Answer
📍 The outcome
The coverage explored the idea that dinosaurs may have descended from four‑inch‑tall ancestors but noted that in 180 million years none were smaller than a rabbit, with researchers suggesting that mammalian competition may have prevented mouse‑sized non‑avian dinosaurs. The prevailing view presented was that dinosaurs became giants rather than remaining tiny.
