Cutest. Dino. Ever.
The sauropod dinosaur Rapetosaurus krausei grew to lengths of about 49 feet (15 meters). But as a baby it would have made a cute house pet.
Juvenile Rapetosaurus bones found in Madagascar reveal a young dino that stood a mere 14 inches (35 centimeters) at the hips and weighed about 88 pounds (40 kilograms), about the size of a large Golden Retriever. (Its long Sauropod neck would have put its head at just about petting height for the average adult human.) At hatching, the dinosaur would have been about the size of a Chihuahua. No word, though, on how easy it was to house-train.
