iguanodontids

Iguanodontids were a diverse group of herbivorous dinosaurs that roamed the Earth during the Early Cretaceous period. They were characterized by their large size, distinctive thumb spikes, and specialized teeth for grinding plant material. Some species, like Iguanodon, were capable of both bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion, allowing them to adapt to various environments and feeding strategies.  

One of the most intriguing aspects of iguanodontids is their unique dental adaptations. Their teeth were arranged in rows and continuously replaced throughout their lives, enabling them to efficiently process tough plant matter. This efficient feeding mechanism allowed iguanodontids to thrive in a variety of habitats, from lush forests to arid plains.
