duck-billed dinosaur
Flat-snouted prehistoric reptile
A duck-billed dinosaur is a hadrosaur—a large herbivorous dinosaur with a broad, flat snout resembling a duck's bill.
These plant-eaters were among the most common dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous period, often found in fossil beds across North America and Asia.
Some had elaborate bony crests on their heads.
