Iguanodon

The biggest Iguanodon species is believed to be Iguanodon bernissartensis, which could reach lengths of up to 10 meters (33 feet) and weigh around 3 to 5 tons. This herbivorous dinosaur roamed during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods. Its distinctive thumb spikes and robust body structure made it one of the more recognizable dinosaurs of its time. Fossils have been found primarily in Europe, particularly in Belgium.

Iguanodon is believed to have lived in herds rather than alone, as evidence suggests social behavior among these dinosaurs. Fossil findings, including trackways and bone beds, indicate that they may have hunted or foraged in groups, which could have provided advantages in protection from predators and in finding food. Their social structure likely helped them thrive in their ecosystems during the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods.

Iguanodon, a herbivorous dinosaur from the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous periods, likely faced extinction due to a combination of factors. These included significant environmental changes, such as climate shifts and habitat loss, as well as competition with other species and predation pressures. Additionally, the mass extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous period, which wiped out around 75% of Earth's species, including many dinosaurs, played a crucial role in their demise.

Yes, Iguanodon was one of the three dinosaurs that inspired the appearance of Godzilla, along with the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Stegosaurus. The filmmakers drew on the physical characteristics of these dinosaurs to create Godzilla's iconic design, blending elements like posture and body shape. Iguanodon's distinctive thumb spikes and bipedal stance contributed to the creature's overall menacing look. This combination helped establish Godzilla as a powerful and memorable movie monster.

The Iguanodon had a relatively large head compared to its body, measuring about 20 to 24 inches (50 to 60 centimeters) long. Its head featured a narrow, elongated shape with a beak-like structure at the front, suitable for herbivorous feeding. Additionally, it had distinctive thumb spikes, which likely played a role in defense or foraging. Overall, the head was proportionate to its robust body, reflecting its adaptations as a large herbivore.

Iguanodon was a large herbivorous dinosaur characterized by its distinctive thumb spikes and a robust body. It had a beak-like mouth for cropping vegetation, large, sturdy limbs for walking on both two and four legs, and a long tail for balance. Its overall appearance featured a bulky, elongated body with a relatively small head, and it could reach lengths of up to 10 meters (about 33 feet). The dinosaur's limbs were adapted for both bipedal and quadrupedal movement, showcasing its versatility in locomotion.

The Iguanodon lived between 126 and 125 million years ago. This is during the Barremian stage of the early Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous was the third and final period of the Mesozoic era, or the so-called "Age of Reptiles."

If you mean "How long did the Iguanodon exist for?" the answer is that they lived for about a million years or so, between 126 and 125 million years ago.

If you mean "How long was the Iguanodon?" the answer is that Iguanodon grew to be 33 feet long as an adult, but especially large individuals were up to 43 feet long.

Iguanadonts technically do not have thumbs. their hand's first finger, referred to as the thumb, has evolved into a sharp spike, the second, third and fourth fingers are mittened together into a walking-pad, and the fifth finger is smaller and semi-opposible.

Iguanodon wasn't the fastest dinosaur known. All we know of dinosaurs is from the fossils we find of them, and from comparisons of those fossils to animals that are still around. For this reason it is extremely difficult to determine the top speed of any dinosaur. What we do know is that some of the fastest dinosaurs were the relatively small ones with very long legs. These include some raptors like Velociraptor, Ornithomimids such as Gallimimus and Ornithomimus. If you include the fact that birds evolved from dinosaurs, than the fastest animal in the world, the Peregrine Falcon, is a dinosaur. When it dives it can exceed 200 miles per hour!

It looked big and when I saw it at the GeorgeC Page Museum I saw all of the bones.They looked awesome,big and huge.

It is 7 feet.

they have long bony spikes on their thumbs which is good for stabbing a theropod who tries to attack it which can hurt a predator badly.But also they use their big long tails to swing and slap at a enemy's face for assault.Other times they just flee.

I think the answer isI don't know

A dinosaur that lived long ago. :)

Answer2: The ornithischians ("bird hipped") were one of two general classes of dinosaurs as determined by the structure of their hips. Those in this category had a hip structure similar to that of a bird but, of course, vastly larger. Some were small in overall size, others huge. The iguanodon reached lengths of 30 feet [9 m]

The main enemy of the iguanodon, as of many of the dinosaurs, was the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But, as it was back in the dinosaur age, any carnivore larger than a specific type of dinosaur was the enemy, so the iguanodon had quite a few enemies.

The Iguanodons main defence was it's 3 inch conical thumbspike

If you mean "What era did the Iguanodon live in?" they lived between 126 and 125 million years ago, during the Barremian stage of the early Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous period was the final period in the Mesozoic era.

If you mean "What area did the Iguanodon live in?" they lived in Europe. Much of Europe was flooded by shallow seas during that time, and what was left was divided into many islands.

Iguanodon was a plant eater, or herbivore. Using its beak, it would have cropped off the leaves it was going to eat and then it would have chewed them to aid digestion. Chewing was a new adaptation that didn't exist in many other dinosaurs at that time.

It is estimated to have weighed about 3.5 tons. In metric units, that is 3,175 kg. That is about two thirds of the weight of a male African elephant.

Iguanodon would have hatched from eggs. This is how all dinosaurs were born. It is unknown whether Iguanodon raised their young or their young had to fend for themselves.

Iguanodon was a plant eater, or herbivore. Its teeth were designed for plant eating, and their jaws had evolved the ability to chew, which assisted with digesting vegetation. Chewing isn't a necessary adaptation in carnivores, because meat doesn't contain cell walls and is thus easier to digest than plants.

Iguanodon is its genus name. There is one currently accepted species of the Iguanodon genus. This species's Latin name is Iguanodon bernissartensis.

Like any organism, Iguanodon had far too many adaptations to count (considering even things such as a heartbeat or an eyeball are adaptations). One of its unique adaptations was a large, sharp claw on each thumb, which they may have used to defend themselves. They generally walked on four legs, but they could run on two legs, or stand on two legs so that they could get a better view of their surroundings and spot predators. They were plant eaters, but vegetation is hard to digest. One of their biggest adaptations was their ability to chew. Before that, plant eating dinosaurs simply swallowed their food, but chewing allowed Iguanodon to digest their food more thoroughly, and cheeks kept the food in their mouth, instead of falling out the sides.

A disadvantage that Iguanodon had was that it was an herbivore and therefor had predators.
