Hadrosaurus was a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaurs that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous period (80–78 million years ago). These herbivorous dinosaurs weighed between 2 and 4 tons and were primarily quadrupedal, though they could rise onto their hind limbs to reach higher vegetation or escape predators.
One of the most remarkable features of Hadrosaurus was its complex dental battery, with up to 1,400 teeth, allowing it to efficiently process tough plant material. Its forelimbs, while less robust than the hind limbs, were long enough to support standing and movement.
The limb structure and feeding adaptations of Hadrosaurus resemble those of contemporaries like Kritosaurus and later hadrosaurids such as Edmontosaurus, reflecting evolutionary trends among herbivorous dinosaurs. With its duck-billed snout, specialized teeth, and versatile limbs, Hadrosaurus is a key example of Late Cretaceous North American dinosaurs.
