Hadrosaurus is a genus of hadrosaurid ornithopod dinosaurs that existed in North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, approximately 80 to 78 million years ago. These dinosaurs weighed between 2 to 4 tons and were mainly quadrupedal, using their strong hind legs to bear most of their weight. They could also stand on their hind legs to reach higher vegetation and run on them to evade predators. Hadrosaurus had highly complex teeth, with up to 1,400 in total. Their forelimbs were less robust than the hindlimbs but sufficiently long to assist in standing or movement. Their appearance resembled that of Kritosaurus, which lived during the same period and region, or later hadrosaurids like Edmontosaurus.
