DINO-A-DAY #70: Nodosaurus

Welcome to Dino-a-Day, where we'll be highlighting one prehistoric beast per day until the release of our graphic novel Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth on January 4, 2011.

Each of the ninety-six creatures we'll be featuring on this blog are taken from a huge 2-page spread in the middle of Evolution. So while you can see each individual creature here, you'll need to grab the book to see them all together!



NAME: Nodosaurus
PRONUNCIATION: no-doe-SAWR-us
ORDER: Ornithischia
EXISTED DURING: Early Cretaceous
DISCOVERED: Wyoming and Kansas, 1889
FUN FACT: Nodosaurus did not have a clubbed tail like Ankylosaurus, so it is believed that the animal dropped to the ground like a hedgehog when threatened.
