About Shantungosaurus
Shantungosaurus lived in Asia around 80 million years ago. This large hadrosaur, or duckbill was possibly the largest of all the duckbilled dinosaurs to have roamed the Earth.
it was discovered and named in 1973. Since that time, a total of five individuals have been discovered, giving scientists a pretty good idea of what this animal looked like. Like many other hadrosaurs, Shantungosaurus had a very long, tapering tail, which it would have used to balance itself as it ran, and also as a possible weapon. Tendons within the tail made it stout, and inflexible.
Like other duckbills, Shantungosaurus had no teeth in the front of its mouth, and several rows of self-sharpening teeth in the cheek region.
