English: Size comparison of two small non-avian dinosaurs, Epidexipteryx hui (green) and Anchiornis huxleyi (orange) with human for scale. Anchiornis is scaled based on the largest described specimen, LPM-B00169. Epidexipteryx is scaled based on the type (and only) specimen, IVPP V15471. Total length of the tail feathers in both is speculative.
