Lanzhousaurus
Lanzhousaurus was a huge, plant-eating dinosaur with teeth so big they were among the largest of any herbivore ever! It lived in what is now China during the Early Cretaceous, about 130 million years ago. This gentle giant could grow as long as a school bus and weighed as much as a large elephant.12

Prettige feite
Lanzhousaurus had 'astonishingly huge teeth' that were among the largest ever for any plant-eating creature.1
Its lower jaw was longer than one meter (over 3 feet), showing it was a very large dinosaur.1
The tooth enamel of Lanzhousaurus grew very rapidly, which helped its teeth stay strong.1
It was a styracosternan iguanodont, a group of beaked, plant-eating dinosaurs that walked on four legs but could stand on two.1
Scientists think Lanzhousaurus weighed about 6 metric tons (6.6 short tons), as heavy as a large elephant.1
