Edmontosaurus is a genus of hadrosaurid (duck-billed) dinosaur. It contains two known species: Edmontosaurus regalis and Edmontosaurus annectens. Being one of the last non-avian dinosaurs it lived alongside dinosaurs like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus.
Like other hadrosaurids, it was a bulky animal with a long, laterally flattened tail and a head with an expanded, duck-like beak. The skull had no bony crest, unlike many other hadrosaurids, but bore a comb-like crest of skin and scales. The fore legs were not as heavily built as the hind legs, but were long enough to be used in standing or movement. Larger specimens reached the range of 39 ft – 43 ft long. Its weight was on the order of 4.4 tons.
