It is difficult to know how long dinosaurs have lived. However it seems that the smaller the animal is the shorter the lifespan is. So it could be that a dinosaur like a Hypsilophodon might only live to about 20 years, but this is guess work by what I have read. A Velociraptor is also a small dinosaur approximately 6 feet long so they are about the same size as the Hypsilophodon, and the web-page below was guess that a velociraptor might live to 20 years.

∙ 12y agoThe current paleontological evidence suggests that theropods (carnivorous dinosaurs) lived fast and died young. Sue, the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex at the Field Museum in Chicago is calculated to be an older adult at the ripe age of 30 years old. Dilophosaurus was smaller than a T-Rex, about 20' to a Rex's 40'. Dinosaurs appear to have been the fastest growing animals known (based on bone histology) and they apparently lived for about 20 or 40 years for theropods and a little more (around 50) for sauropods.
