There are two main groups of dinosaur, saurischian and ornithischians.

The evidence of Coelophysis are multiple fossilized skeletons. Some of them were complete skeletons, which are rare when it comes to dinosaur fossils. There is one known species from the Coelophysis genus.
The dinosaur Deceptive Lizard, also known as Coelophysis, was a small, carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period. It had a slender body, long tail, and bird-like features, such as hollow bones. Coelophysis is one of the earliest known dinosaurs and is an important species for understanding dinosaur evolution.

Coelophysis was a small carnivorous dinosaur that lived in the Late Triassic in North America.It had hollow bones, so although it was two meters long, it would have weighed less then 66 pounds (30 kilograms) when mature. Coelophysis was very agile and lighting fast and it had razor-sharp teeth to catch and eat small animals.

All of the above animals belong to the class Reptilia. Triceratops was a dinosaur, snakes are Squamates, turtles are testudines, and crocodiles are crocodilians.
No type of mother dinosaur ate its own babies, although a few may have eaten the young of others from their species. The misconception comes from the misidentification of lizard remains in the stomach of a Coelophysis. Because the lizard bones were thought to be infant Coelophysis, people thought they were cannibalistic. The error has since been corrected.
Theropods were the killers of the dinosaur world, for exampe tyrannosaurus rex was a theropod. Other examples are Coelophysis, Ornithomimus and Dilophosaurus.
