Anchiornis, a small feathered dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period, likely faced predation from larger theropods and Birds of Prey. Its size and ecological niche suggest that it could have been vulnerable to carnivorous dinosaurs like Allosaurus or smaller raptors. Additionally, other contemporary predators, including larger flying reptiles, may have posed a threat. However, specific evidence of its predators is limited due to the fossil record.
Anchiornis was created in 2009.
Anchiornis is a genus of small, feathered, troodontid dinosaur.
Anchiornis, a small feathered dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period, primarily likely fed on a diet of small invertebrates, such as insects and possibly small vertebrates. Its lightweight body and agile movements suggest it was an opportunistic forager, using its sharp beak to catch prey. Additionally, it may have foraged on the ground or in low vegetation, utilizing its keen eyesight to spot food. Overall, Anchiornis was well-adapted for a carnivorous diet in its environment.
Anchiornis is currently the smallest dinosaur described from an adult specimen, with an estimated weight of 110 grams.
The smallest meat-eating dinosaur ever was Microraptor, at 2 feet long and lighter than a turkey.
The first dinosaur discovered to have had feathers was Archaeopteryx. Later finds found that many other dinosaurs including Velociraptor, Yutyrannus, and Anchiornis are known to have had feathers.

Many species of dinosaur have been found in China. They are especially famous for well preserved fossils of small theropods that include the feathers. Three such dinosaurs that were found were Anchiornis, Microraptor, and Confuciusornis.
Wolves are apex predators themselves and have no predators.
Tigers are top predators. They do not have any natural predators
