Reptile fossile ornithischien de la fin de l'ère secondaire (crétacé supérieure), encore appelé dinosaure à bec de canard. Les hadrosaures étaient des reptiles bipèdes, mesurant jusqu'à 5 m. On pense qu'ils étaient amphibies et qu'ils se nourrissaient de plantes aquatiques; leur "bec" est formé de la soudure, en quatre plaques, de dents très nombreuses. 3, record 1, French, - hadrosaure
