Key Characteristics of the Iguanodon

The Iguanodon was a large dinosaur, reaching up to 30 feet long! That's about the size of a school bus! It was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. Imagine it munching on leaves all day! Iguanodons lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 126 to 122 million years ago. They were one of the first dinosaurs ever discovered, making them extra special.

Fun Facts About the Iguanodon

  • Thumb Spike: Iguanodons had a large, pointy thumb spike on each hand. Scientists believe they used these spikes for defense against predators or to help them break open tough fruits and seeds.
  • Duck-like Bill: They had a wide, toothless beak similar to a duck's, which they used to clip leaves from trees and plants.
  • Walked on Two or Four Legs: Iguanodons could walk on two legs or all four legs, depending on what they were doing. When they needed to run fast, they probably used two legs!
  • First Dinosaur Tooth: The first Iguanodon tooth was discovered in 1822 by Mary Ann Mantell.
