Appearance of Edmontosaurus

Edmontosaurus possessed a robust, heavy body balanced by a long muscular tail. Its broad, duck-like beak allowed it to scoop up large amounts of plant foliage, while wide feet supported its weight on soft ground.

Adaptations of Duck-Billed Dinosaurs

The broad, pad-like structure of Edmontosaurus feet prevented the heavy animal from sinking into muddy soil along river edges. Paleontologists have preserved skin impressions showing that its feet ended in hoof-like claws designed for stability. Living near lush prehistoric waterways allowed Edmontosaurus to find constant sources of tough plant matter.

Authentic Colors of Edmontosaurus

  • Rough outer hide: slate gray, deep forest green, or mud brown
  • Flattened beak: dark slate, charcoal, or weathered black
  • Wide padded feet: dark brown, gray, or clay tan
  • Tuft of grass: rich green, dry yellowish-brown, or mossy olive
Questions and answers

Common Questions and Answers

How did Edmontosaurus chew its food without front teeth?
While the front of its mouth had a toothless beak for clipping plants, the back of its jaws contained hundreds of tightly packed teeth arranged in dental batteries that ground tough branches and pine needles into pulp.
How big was Edmontosaurus compared to other dinosaurs?
Edmontosaurus was one of the largest duck-billed dinosaurs, reaching lengths of up to forty feet and weighing several tons when fully grown.
Did Edmontosaurus have any crest on top of its head?
Unlike Parasaurolophus, Edmontosaurus lacked a hollow bone crest, though some species possessed a small, fleshy crest made of soft tissue similar to a rooster's comb.
