Edmontosaurus, meaning “lizard from Edmonton,” was a large hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived in North America during the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous (71–65 million years ago). Adults measured up to nine meters long, with some reaching thirteen meters, and weighed around 3.5 tonnes, ranking it among the largest herbivorous dinosaurs.

This duck-billed dinosaur had up to sixty rows of teeth that were continually replaced, allowing it to chew tough vegetation like twigs, seeds, and conifer needles. Muscular cheek pouches and flexible jaws made feeding highly efficient, enabling Edmontosaurus to browse both ground-level plants and low shrubs.

Fossilized skin impressions show scaly, leathery skin with tubercles along its neck, back, and tail. Primarily bipedal, it could also move on all fours, with strong hind limbs and forelimbs adapted for support. Edmontosaurus relied on keen eyesight, hearing, and smell to detect predators, making it a versatile and well-adapted herbivorous dinosaur of Late Cretaceous North America.
