It lived about 72 to 70 million years ago during the early Maastrichtian age.1

Kamuysaurus belongs to a group of duck-billed dinosaurs called Edmontosaurini, which also includes Edmontosaurus.2

The dinosaur was named after the Ainu word 'kamuy', meaning deity or god.1

It was an adult at least nine years old when it died.1
