Tenontosaurus was a medium- to large-sized ornithopod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, around 110 million years ago, and weighed between 1,000 and 2,000 kilograms. One of its most distinctive features was its tail, which made up more than half of its total body length and was stiffened by ossified tendons that turned into bone for added support. Tenontosaurus primarily walked and ran on its hind legs, though it had strong forelimbs with short, wide front feet and a long, flexible neck. It lacked teeth at the front of its mouth, instead having a horny beak for cropping vegetation, while its rows of tightly packed teeth were well adapted for crushing tough plants such as cycads, ferns, conifers, and early flowering plants. Tenontosaurus is believed to have lived in a warm, seasonal climate with occasional rainfall.
