The Edmontosaurus was found… amazingly enough… near Edmonton! WOAH! Though it has also been found in the states. This duck billed dinosaur was also called Anatosaurus though the more common name is the Edmontosaurus. It is a rather interesting dinosaur as it walked on 4 legs AND 2 legs… it was a herbivore and had tons of teeth as it was constantly grinding them down. It was one of the last dinosaurs like the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex. So the Late Cretaceous period. We have an absolutely CANADIAN video to share with you about this dinosaur…eh.

We have a rather lengthy educational piece as our second video. This one runs about 12 minutes. 

And now for our links… There are actually quite a few. Emanuel specifically wanted to know how big or small the dinosaur was in comparison to us. The Animal Planet site had a great image for that HERE. They had a second more wordy article HERE. Science Kids had a rather neat visual rendition of the “beak” of our dinosaur HERE. The Alaska Museum of Natural History had a rather amazing painting HERE, did  you know that with this dinosaur we actually have impressions of its skin! So there is an idea as to what the actual skin patterns on this dinosaur looked like!!! EnchantedLearning has its fact sheet HERE. Kidsdinos.com has its usual map etc HERE. Under the name Anatosaurus we had the following links… About.com had there’s HERE. And then Prehistory.com had their article HERE. For our printable you can go to THIS link. And of course there is the Wiki article HERE. Enjoy the links! This is a rather interesting and information friendly dinosaur!
