The genus Edmontosaurus refers to a type of large herbivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous Period, belonging to the hadrosaurid (duck-billed dinosaurs) family. They were found in North America and identified by their flat duck-like snout and a series of bony plates along their backs. They were quadripedal or bipedal, depending on the necessity and known for their plant-eating habits, inferred from their teeth structure and the evidence of chewed plant fossils.
