Siamodon was an advanced iguanodontian, a group of plant-eating dinosaurs that are close relatives of the duck-billed hadrosaurs.1

The fossils of Siamodon were found in the Khok Kruat Formation, a rock layer that was once a river floodplain.4 1

Siamodon was a ground-dwelling dinosaur that walked on four legs but could probably rear up on two legs to reach higher plants.2
