Like the Iguanodon dinosaurs before it, Edmontosaurus walked on all four legs and ran on their hind legs, reaching speeds of 50kph.
What habitat did Edmontosaurus live in?
The distribution of Edmontosaurus fossils suggests that it preferred coasts and coastal plains. It was a herbivore that could move on both two legs and four. Because it is known from several bone beds, Edmontosaurus is thought to have lived in groups, and may have been migratory as well.

What kind of teeth did hadrosaurs have?
Both types of Hadrosaur had many hundreds of closely packed, diamond shaped teeth in their jaws, some specimens had over 1,400 individual teeth in their mouths. These teeth formed a “dental battery”, interlocked teeth to form a very efficient grinding surface to help these animals tackle tough plant material.

How do I keep my Huayangosaurus happy?
To meet their comfort requirements, Huayangosaurus prefer enclosures with 3,648 m² of grassland and 3,090 m² of forest. Like other stegosaurids, they will stand their ground and fight against medium and large carnivores, but can coexist harmoniously with small carnivores such as Velociraptor.
Where was the Edmontosaurus in Jurassic world?
