I’m not sure if you read another couple sentences, which went on to state that this skull is even smaller than the dimensions of the bee hummingbird, the smallest dinosaur previously known.

I wasn’t sure, which is why I said competition, but no, I failed to read the article quote. I guess the bee hummingbird lost.
I should read the whole post next time.

I read elsewhere that the reporting got the skull dimensions wrong, slightly, in that it didn’t include the bill. With the bill it would be about twice as long. Still tiny though.

I’m guessing they were able to determine that this wasn’t a tiny hatchling (rather than a full size adult) by mri/xray-ing its skull development and using bird skulls as a reference (since birds evolved from theropods).

The remaining dinosaurs not immediately wiped out by the asteroid all killed each other over toilet paper.

Hmm - T-Rex must have been wiped out by the asteroid, as they couldn’t use toilet paper.

It is well established that T-Rex used the bidet like any other civilized animal.

And so forth
