Maiasaura in a Shallow Puddle
Maiasaura was a large plant-eating dinosaur known for its broad beak and sturdy tail. Passing through shallow water was a common occurrence for these creatures as they moved across humid coastal plains and river valleys during the Late Cretaceous period.
Discovering the Good Mother Lizard
The name Maiasaura means good mother lizard because fossil sites showed these dinosaurs cared for their young in large nesting colonies. Walking through muddy areas and small pools helped them search for soft vegetation along freshwater streams. Fossilized footprints reveal that herds often traveled together near water sources to find plentiful plant food.
