WASHINGTON (AP) - Imagine a vicious velociraptor like those in "Jurassic Park," but only as big as a modern chicken.

Canadian researchers say they've found, the smallest meat-eating dinosaur yet discovered in North America.

This pint-sized cousin of velociraptor lived 75 million years ago in the swamps and forests of what's now southern Alberta.

Similar small dinosaurs have been uncovered in China in the last few years, and studying those helped the researchers identify this
North American version.
