Tenontosaurus was a medium- to large-sized ornithopod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 110 million years ago, and weighed between 1,000 and 2,000 kilograms. Its most distinctive feature was its long tail, which made up more than half of its total body length and was stiffened by ossified tendons that had turned to bone. Tenontosaurus walked and ran mainly on its hind legs, but also had strong forelimbs with short, broad front feet and a long, flexible neck. It had no teeth at the front of its mouth, instead using a horny beak to bite off plants, while rows of strong, well-fitted teeth in the back of its jaws helped it crush tough vegetation such as cycads, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants. It likely lived in a warm, seasonal climate with occasional rainfall.
