- Hadrosaurs are not always the most well represented of dinosaur groups, but they were among the most widespread and common of all known dinosaur clades. Their lack of representation is most likely down to their appearance, or at least the first glance of it. They were herbivorous ornithischians, but lacked the long necks of sauropods, the flashy weaponry of the ceratopsians and the stegosaurs, and the defensive armour of the ankylosaurs.
They didn't have big teeth or claws, and many of them are represented in the media as prey animals - simple, dull reptiles that existed purely to feed the more interesting theropods. This could not be further from the truth. The hadrosaurs were a massively diverse group, and you'll have most certainly heard of some of its members already. Creatures such as Parasaurolophus, Maiasaura, Tenontosaurus and Corythosaurus have made the rounds in popular films, television shows and books - some more than others. With their well known fossils or bizarre skulls, these are the exceptions to the rule - many other hadrosaurs do tend to, sadly, go unnoticed by the media. Indeed, hadrosaurs were, in reality, spectacular animals. Some of them grew to extreme lengths - in some cases, up to seventeen metres long - but more on that later.
These creatures were prominent mainly on North America, Europe and Asia, but remains have also been unearthed in South America, Africa and even Antarctica, with over fifty distinct genera of hadrosaur having been described by paleontologists since the mid eighteen hundreds. These dinosaurs all vary greatly - some of them have bizarre head crests, which may have been vibrantly coloured to aid in display or communication. Many of them were able to utilise these crests to amplify their vocal calls, which may have been able to travel long distances across the land. Many species posessed unique 'duck bills', a phrase which you have likely heard to describe these animals before. This toothless beak projected out in front of the face, which possessed huge tooth batteries. These teeth were fused together, to aid the dinosaurs in chewing tough, fibrous plant matter, and were frequently replaced as the animal went about its life.
In today's video, we will be exploring these dinosaurs in great detail, travelling to each and every continent in which they thrived, usually throughout the Late Cretaceous. We will be taking a look at the diversity in hadrosaur forms, looking at how they lived and what they looked like, dipping into their discoveries along the way. Join us, as we take meet one of the most diverse groups of reptiles ever to live - the hadrosaurs.

Aw, I wish I could remember the dino documentary I saw the followed a group of hadrosaurs, specifically a little one with a scar that the narrator nicknamed "Scar". Got super-invested, we even had a little cat that had a scar, and we would sometimes nickname him the same. Now I see a hadrosaur and I think of lil' Scar.
I think u are looking for March of the Dinosaurs, a documentary about Edmontosaurus and one with the name Scar
That's it!! That's awesome, thank you@@maximo5714
March of the dinosaurs
I'm happy to see the Asian hadrosaurs get the spotlight they deserve! Also I love how you put an emphasis on how they aren't only food for predators and are interesting on their own right, and the end is fabulous!
When I was a kid in 1980 Auckland New Zealand I was with my Dad and saw in a shop window an Airfix Corythosaurus and an Airfix Dimetrodon. I was beside myself and begged my parents to buy for Christmas. I just fell in love with the Corythosaurus and Duckbill Dinosaurs....google the box art. I also got Sinclaire Corythosaurus and Trachodon. Wonderful.
Hadrosaurs r awsome and they lived everywere. If ur town doesnt have alot of fossils there u can bet at some point a hadrosaur was or will be found nearby that once lived there.
I’ve done a search on RUclips for videos about hadrosaurs and very little ever came up. This was more than I could’ve hoped for! Thanks! And for all your great videos. There’s some pretty suspect dinosaur videos and series out there.
it's a great video but 5 midroll ads was certainly over the top
How about finding a witness that was actually there instead of 🤤🤪🤡 over RUclips videos
Would you eat a hadrosaur? If so, which one (and how to cook/serve)?
This is the best dino channel on youtube!
Love this channel
*Countless thanks, for this fascinating, documentary, that follows Real Science, and Nature's Rules of Species Behavior, while informing us all on updates, and the absolutely fantastic CGI artwork!* 👍👍& 10⭐
14:40 *_YES!_** Ducks, Geese, and Swans are today's Hadrosaurs!*
Corythosaurus was always my favorite dinosaur as a kid because it shared my name 😂
What an interesting video idea
Hadrosaurs get no respect, no respect at all. They are fascinating.
these are one of my favorites I like them better than t rex I like soropods too, they are so creative huge and interesting.
Lambeosaurine hadrosaurs are the most common form of hadrosaurid in Europe, known as Arenysaurini tribe. Ajnabia Odysseus, a minipony-sized dwarf lambeosaurine hadrosaur found in Morocco, North Africa, is proof that some of them were good swimmers and used it to move between islands, as an oceanic dispersal, in the prehistoric European archipelago.
That's rather a superior claim. I HAVE heard of them many times. They are not exactly a mystery.
I've heard of some of them.
Very interesting creatures 😊🦕🦖
Even in Antarctica in the ice?🙉
Excellent recreations.
Congratulations.
You do know that antarctica havent been covered in ice for all of the time right?
For most of the last 100 million years antarctica was a tropical paradise.
Last 35 million years it has become was it is, and has been covered in ice the last 15 million years.
So if a dinosaur fossil is found in ice its just because it has come up from the ground, not frozen and preserved for +65 million years.
The frozen mammoths and such we find in ice today are barely 0.1% the age of the youngest dinosaur. Not even 65.000 years old, big gap to a dino
Kritosaurus genus was I believe the hadrosaur found in Antarctica.
Herbivorous dinosaurs, akin to modern-day birds, likely had a lot to do with development of forests via angiosperm distribution (excretions and accidental yet fortunate, pollination). 🤔💭
what do crested birds use their big crests for? [e.g., cassowarys and some toucans].
Well, there no Hadrosaurs being discovered in Australia. Only Iguanodonts ruled there.
Justice for Duckie😅 yeah too many people hype all kinds of other dinosaurs but never Hadrosaurs. All dinosaurs are interesting.
The paucity of fossils recovered in Antartica tells us that they are hard to find when buried under ice and snow.
Call me basic but these are my favorite
I to find a flame spitting parasauralophus ridiculous buuuutttt are we gonna talk about the fact it looks so cool is ridiculous too 😆
Is it just me?
The way he narrates....
Maybe next time explain more of their anatomy and interesting features. I liked your video but I find it kinda sad how most people speaking about the hadrosaurs focus nearly exclusively on their heads, head crests and maybe overall size. What about their tails, posture, feet, other interesting features? What do we know about their skin?
Dear Martin, That is an interesting question. I can recall some years ago scientists found a rare thing indeed. They were skin impressions left by a hadrosaur. The skin had scales like modern reptiles although some were bigger than others. So, no feathers.
Who hasn't heard of hadrosaurs?
Title is really dumb. Everyone who has a passing familiarity with dinosaurs has heard of hadrosaurs.
I bet these animals were a force to be reckoned especially the larger species and given their sheer size I am certain they could do significant damage to a predator
I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of a very pissed off herd of Hadrosaurs 🥴
His crest was longer than a medium human being!🙄👍
The lack of representation of these often beautiful animals is because they are not vicious killers or badass herbivores armed to the teeth. That is the stuff that most people want to see and so movie and book makers give people the violent horror that they want. Look at the covers of DVDs and books that have to do with dinos and what do you see? A scary rendition of a killer that appeared only at the end of the age of dinosaurs and was around perhaps two million years. Hadrosaurs were numerous, diversified, all over the place, and around for a long time. But no matter. They are used as victims for the T Rexes. Sickening.
Fun fact: Hadrosaurus was found in Haddonfield New Jersey, hence the name, and is also the official state dinosaur.
hadros comes from greek, it means thick

wait... am I first? I'm never first
show me some love ppl
¡Hey! ¿and the mexicans hadrosaurs?
Second
Thirt❤
I think that you meant THIRD
Some of your borrowed modern video choices are totally bizarre
Fourth 😅
Please don’t call them reptiles
What are they?
"Please don’t call them reptiles"
- why?
They’re reptiles
what bro all dinosaurs where reptiles
