Iguanodon bernissartensis (genus Iguanodon) was a large herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous. It walked on two or four legs.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

The front of its mouth was a horny beak, and inside its cheeks were teeth for chewing food.

🔍 3. Fossil Record & Paleoecology

The Natural History Museum in London guide introduces it as a plant eater. The measurements given are representative values for the genus Iguanodon as a whole.
