Datu dibertigarriak
Aquilarhinus had a beak shaped like a shovel, which was different from the flat beaks of most duck-billed dinosaurs.12
Its lower jaw bones met in a W shape at the front, which helped it scoop up plants.2
The name Aquilarhinus means 'eagle snout' because its nose bones were arched like an eagle's beak.1
This dinosaur lived during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, between 83.6 and 72.2 million years ago.3
Aquilarhinus was first thought to be a species of Kritosaurus, but scientists later realized it was a new genus.1

It ate soft plants, scooping up semiaquatic vegetation from swamps and rivers with its shovel-shaped beak.12
?Why did Aquilarhinus have a shovel beak?
Its lower jaw bones met in a W shape, forming a wide, flattened scoop that helped it shovel out and scoop up loose, wet sediment and aquatic plants.12
