About Camptosaurus
Camptosaurus was first discovered and named in 1879 by palentologist Earl Douglass. It later was named in 1885 by Othniel Charles Marsh.
This dinosaur was a typical Iguanidontid, spending its days moving from place to place looking for plant material to devour.
Using its tail as a counter-weight, Camptosaurus was able to balance on its hind-legs, leaving its arms for feeding, and other tasks, such as self-defense.
Fossilized tracks show evidence that Camptosaurus also walked on all fours at times.
