Maiasaura — size comparison — facts and sources

Maiasaura was a herbivorous hadrosaur of Late Cretaceous North America. It had a broad beak, extensive dental batteries and a long balancing tail. It could move on two or four limbs.

Nests, eggs and young were found in Montana. Their distribution indicates colonial nesting, while young within nests supported a parental-care hypothesis. Bones from different ages also document rapid growth and changing body form.
