45 Questions

How old is the iguanodon?

The Iguanodon lived between 126 and 125 million years ago. This was during the early portion of the Cretaceous period, the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era, or the "Age of Reptiles."

Why do Iguanodon's have stripes?

Because, they are born like that. Iguanodon is one of the most interesting dinosaurs ever just because he had these wonderful stripes. People say that Iguanodon looks like a zebra.

Why do Iguanodon's have a rearly long claw on each foot?

Iguanodon doesn't have a long claw on each foot. They do have a long claw on each thumb, which they may have used for defense. Dinosaurs that do have a long claw on each foot are dromaeosaurs, such as Velociraptor and Troodon, and they used these long, curved claws for hunting by stabbing and slashing their prey in soft areas with blood vessels.

Why do scientists think that the Iguanodon is a herbivore?

There are a number of clues that scientists look for to determine the diet of an animal. One is the shape of the teeth. In Iguanodon, the teeth aren't sharp or serrated, and are designed for chewing plants, not killing or dismembering animal prey. Another clue is the claws. If an animal has a lot of sharp claws, it is more likely to be carnivorous. With the exception of its thumb claws, Iguanodon didn't have sharp claws, and its thumb claw was probably used for self defense. Another hint is the jawbone. The jaw wasn't designed to bite down firmly on prey like the jaws of a carnivorous dinosaur such as Tyrannosaurus or Allosaurus.

What sound do iguanodons make?

The truth is that no one knows what they sound like. The best way how we think they sound is based on the size of their lungs or skull structure. Maybe

Utahraptor, Arcrocanthosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Dromaeosaurus, Hallalikian and Noasaurus.

What do Iguanodon eat?

Iguanodon were herbivores, or plant eaters. They lived in the relatively dry forests of Europe's many islands during the Early Cretaceous. The primary plant there were conifers, and others included ferns, cycads, horsetails, ginkgos, and the earliest angiosperms, which were just beginning to evolve.

Plants, as evidenced by its teeth. The Iguanodon was one of the very first dinosaurs identified.

What are facts about iguanodons?

What are a few adaptations for Iguanodons?

Iguanodon was a four legged plant eater. Its hindlimbs were longer and stronger than its forelimbs, allowing it to stand on two feet to reach higher leaves, search for predators, and even to run faster on two legs than it could on four. It was one of the first plant eating dinosaurs to have the ability to thoroughly chew its food, which enabled it to digest tougher vegetation more effectively than other dinosaurs. The Iguanodon's cheeks kept food in its mouth while it chewed, and its keratinous beak helped it to crop off vegetation, as they had no front teeth. They also had large claws on their thumbs, which could have been used to defend themselves against predators in the case that the Iguanodon couldn't flee.

What does iguanodon mean?

Iguanodon is the name for a genus of herbivorous dinosaur, and there is one accepted species, Iguanodon bernissartensis. Iguanodon means "iguana tooth," while bernissartensis refers to Bernissart, Belgium, where the first nearly complete skeletons of Iguanodon were found.

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 iguanodon reached lengths of 30 feet [9 m]. Skeletons of several types of hadrosaurs indicate a duckbill upper and lower jaw, with numerous teeth. Hadrosaurs were apparently bipedal, walking or running on two legs. Some of them reached lengths of 33 feet [10 m].

How tall is a Iguanodon?

There are many species of Iguanodont dinosaur, and each one was a different height. This is further complicated by the fact that they could walk on four or two legs, which would give each species two different possible heights. The best known species was Iguanodon bernissartensis, and it was 3 meters (9 feet) to the highest point, the back, when it was on all fours.

What is the iguanodons common nick name?

There is no "nickname" for Iguanodon. Iguanodon is the scientific name for the genus, and the full Latin name for the only species in this genus is Iguanodon bernissartensis. Iguanodon means "iguana tooth" in while bernissartensis refers to Bernissart, Belgium, where the first nearly complete skeletons of Iguanodon were discovered.

Deinonychus lived between 115 and 108 million years ago in North America.

Oviraptor lived about 75 million years ago in Asia.

Triceratops lived between 68 and 65.5 million years ago in North America.

Tyrannosaurus lived between 67 and 65.5 million years ago in North America.

What should I feed my iguanodon?

I'm not sure if you mean "What should I feed my iguana?" or "What should I feed my Iguanodon?"

Iguanodon died out between 126 and 125 million years ago, and although we know they were plant eaters, we don't know specifically what plants they ate. Because they are extinct, nobody could have a pet Iguanodon.

Iguanas are lizards and are mostly herbivorous in nature, but some cases have been recorded of them eating dead fish or live mice. According to Wikipedia, staple vegetables that are good for iguanas include green apples, tomato, mangos, butternut squash, green beans, snap peas, okra, escarole, and collard greens. As for meat, feeding an iguana excessive amounts can cause numerous, severe health problems, and most experts say you should never feed an iguana any meat at all. Additionally, they require a precise ratio of minerals (2 to 1 calcium to phosphorus) in their diet.

On another note, iguanas need to be kept at temperatures between 79 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit and supplied plenty of UVA and UVB light. Without adequate UVA and UVB, they can't make Vitamin D, and without Vitamin D they can develop a deadly bone disease.

As with any pet, you should do thorough research before getting an iguana. If you haven't researched and already have one, I suggest you start researching proper iguana care right away.

Do iguanodon have big and sharp claws on their thumb?

Yes, Iguanodon had a large claw on each thumb. The first time a fossil of an Iguanodon thumb spike was found, it was believed to be a nose horn, because only one was found with the skeleton. We now know that there was one on each thumb and that Iguanodon may have used these spikes to defend itself from predators.

What does the name iguanodon mean?

Iguanodon simply means "iguana tooth," with the syllable "don" coming from Greek. The Iguanodon was first named by Gideon Mantell, and at the time he only knew Iguanodon from its teeth. The teeth seemed to resemble those of a giant iguana, hence the name.

What is a relative of a iguanodon?
