The History and Traits of Mantellisaurus

Mantellisaurus was an iguanodontian dinosaur that roamed Early Cretaceous Europe, particularly what is now England and Belgium. Named in honor of pioneering fossil collector Gideon Mantell, this herbivore had slender forelimbs and could walk on two legs while running or on four legs while grazing. Carrots are taproots known for their high beta-carotene content and distinctive leafy greens.
