Ornitholestes was an ornitholestine coelurosaur of the Jurassic period. It was a relatively small predator who probably hunted small lizards and early mammals.. It was once believed to have a crest on its nose.[155]
In Dinosaur Revolution
A noisy Ornitholestes (probably another type of coelurosaur) is first decapicated by a female Allosaurus after disturbing her and her youngsters in the very early morning.
Another member of the same species played a comic relief role later in the episode, as it ran around chasing a Rhamphorhynchus, even climbing a tree at one point, and constantly failing to achieve its goal. It was last seen still chasing the pterosaur as the watering hole dried up and the rains didn't arrive yet.
