#Maiasaura

Maiasaura is a genus of large, herbivorous, duck-billed dinosaurs (hadrosaurids) that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous period. Its name, meaning "good mother lizard," reflects the significant paleontological discovery of nesting colonies and evidence of parental care, where adults fed their young in nests. This dinosaur is known for its distinctive duck-like beak and its social behavior, often living in herds.
