Description
Oh well, at least something my scanner doesn't ruin...A Hypsilophodon foxii takes the time to look around to spot danger before running away.
Hypsilophodon is a small Ornitischian from Early Cretaceous England which is known to science for a long time. When remains were discovered in 1849 they first thought it was a juvenile Iguanodon. Later, in the 19th century they thought it lived in trees and used its long tail as an extra limb like chameleons or monkeys.
Now we know it was a ground dwelling, 180 cm long, fast Ornithopod (if not the fastest) with a weight of 20 kg. Also, just like Iguanodon it was able to grab stuff with its fifth finger.

I think that it could live in trees (that requires speed and agility right?)

Well it could jump into trees to reach high vegetation or flee from predators.Β
Goats climb trees even though they are not built for it.

That's a fair point, never thought about it that way.Β
Now that you mention it: ever seen the tree climbing Protoceratops from John Conway?

I have but a light-bodied biped is probably a better climber, as it could jump to low branches.

Yeah, chickens do probably better than goats.
