Dysalotosaurus had a life expectancy of about 20 years and lived in mixed-age herds.1
Young Dysalotosaurus had different teeth than adults, suggesting they ate a mix of plants and small animals before becoming full herbivores.1
Dysalotosaurus held its head pointing straight forward when not feeding, based on CT scans of its braincase.1
All known Dysalotosaurus specimens were not yet fully grown when they died.1
