Datos curiosos
Edmontosaurus had a fleshy 'mitten' on its hands, formed by two long fingers wrapped together, which helped support its weight when walking on all fours.1
It could rear up on its hind legs to reach high branches, thanks to powerful hindlimbs and a long tail for balance.1
Edmontosaurus lived in huge herds of tens to hundreds of individuals, and many bonebeds with thousands of bones have been found.1
The first Edmontosaurus skeleton was put on display in Canada in 1913, making it the first mounted dinosaur skeleton in the country.1
Two species are known: E. regalis lived about 73 to 70 million years ago, and E. annectens lived about 68 to 66 million years ago.1
Edmontosaurus had a duck-like beak and hundreds of teeth that formed a grinding 'pavement' to chew tough plants.1
