Maiasaura was a large, herbivorous saurolophine hadrosaurid, commonly known as a "duck-billed" dinosaur, that lived during the Upper Cretaceous Period, around 65 to 70 million years ago. In 1978, a remarkable nesting site was discovered in the Two Medicine Formation near Choteau, Montana, U.S., providing the first strong evidence that some dinosaurs cared for their young.
Maiasaura had a short, wide, toothless bill, and its jaws contained hundreds of tightly packed teeth used for chewing and grinding plants. It had a low head with a small bony crest between its eyes and a long, pointed tail. Like other duck-billed dinosaurs, its hind legs were longer than its front limbs, suggesting it could walk both bipedally and quadrupedally. It took about seven to eight years for Maiasaura to reach its full adult length of around eight meters, with an estimated body mass of roughly four metric tons.
