About
Tenontosaurus
Tenontosaurus was a medium-sized bird-footed, or ornithopod, dinosaur. Living in the early Cretaceous Period, this plant-eater spent its days crouched on all fours foraging for food, or standing on its rear legs trying to reach food high in the tree tops.
Tenontosaurus probably spend most of its time walking bipedally on its rear legs, while using its front legs to grasp objects and also defend itself.
Discovered in North America and named in 1970 by John Ostrom, Tenontosaurus had a beak similar to other bird-footed dinosaurs.
