What is the smallest known dinosaur?

The smallest dinosaur known is the Parvicursor remotus, which was ony 12 to 15 inches long and is estimated to have weighed 4.8 and 5.7 ounces. Parvicursor was a tiny, bipedal feathered theropod dinosaur. It was an Alvarezsaurid, so it only had a single finger, with a claw. It may have used that claw to dig into termite mounds. To escape predators, they would have run quite fast.

How many water dinosaurs were there?

we can't say, because were discovering more all the time. there is actually no such thing as a dinosaur that spent its whole life in water as one of the definitions of a dinosaur is an animal with steady legs that support it on land. any water animal would have flippers so they cant stand. the animals that lived in the water were just animals that lived in the dinosaur period not actual dinosaurs.
