Edmontosaurus, meaning “lizard from Edmonton,” was a massive hadrosaurid dinosaur of the Maastrichtian stage, around 71–65 million years ago. Native to North America, it could reach nine meters in length, with larger specimens up to thirteen meters, and weighed approximately 3.5 tonnes.

This herbivorous dinosaur had up to sixty rows of teeth, continuously replaced, for chewing tough plant material like twigs, seeds, and conifer needles. Its jaw flexed during chewing, aided by muscular cheek pouches. Wyoming fossil discoveries revealed scaly, leathery skin and tubercles along the back, tail, and neck, enhancing its characteristic duck-like appearance.

Edmontosaurus moved primarily on its hind limbs, but could also walk on all fours. Its forelimbs supported weight, while hind limbs were powered by strong muscles. A low-tilted spine allowed ground-level feeding. Although it lacked defensive adaptations, sharp senses of sight, hearing, and smell allowed Edmontosaurus to detect predators effectively.
