About the Animal

Iguanodon lived during the Early to Late Cretaceous period from 145-65 million years ago. They were very successful dinosaurs that had been around for 80 million years and they colonized every single continent. They were prey aimals for carnivores  like Sarcosuchus, Utahraptor, and the immense Giganotosaurus. One reason Iguanodon were so successful is that they developed a new way of tackling Cretaceous plants.
