BRACHYLOPHOSAURUS
(BRACK-ee-LOAF-oh-SAW-rus)
Brachylophosaurus lived
about 75 million years ago. It was a plant-eater and one of the many duck-billed
dinosaurs, or Hadrosaurs. Brachylophosaurus means “Short-crested Reptile,”
which came from the shield of bone that ran from its snout to the top
of its flat head and ending in a short spike.
Brachylophosaurus was
about 23 feet long and probably walked on either its back legs or all
four legs. When standing on its back legs, it used its long arms to reach
high leaves above its head.
Can you believe that Brachylophosaurus survived with its main defense
against danger being sharp senses of sight, hearing and smell?
