The Iguanodon was a large, bulky dinosaur that ate plants. It could walk on two legs or four legs.
An adult grew to be about 33 feet long. Some reached up to 43 feet long. On average, this animal weighed about 3.4 tons.
Fossils from this dinosaur date back to 161.2 million to 99.6 million years ago. Scientists found them in Europe, North Africa, and North America. They also found fossils in Australia, Asia and southern Africa.
This dinosaur had a large, tall, and narrow head. A toothless beak covered its mouth. This beak was likely made of tough keratin. Inside the mouth, the dinosaur had tightly packed teeth. These teeth looked just like the iguana teeth, but they were much larger.
The Iguanodon had a sharp thumb spike on each hand. It used this spike as a weapon. The dinosaur used it to fight off large meat-eating dinosaurs.
