Iguanadon
Name Iguanadon bernissartensis Information
Diet Herbivorous Iguanadon was a herbivorous dinosaur that had a horny, toothless beak and tightly-packed cheek teeth. On each hand, Iguanodon had four fingers plus a conical thumb spike on each hand (that was perpendicular to the other fingers). The thumb spikes may have been used for defense or in obtaining food; it ranged from 2 to 6 inches long. Iguanodon had a flat, stiff tail and three-toed hind feet with hoof-like claws. Its legs were much larger than its arms - suggesting that it was both capable of movement on two AND four feet.
