Dinosaur Profile: Iguanodon

Iguanodon helped birth the study of dinosaurs. It has been with us for nearly 200 years and, while not always on the cutting edge, has been a barometer of how our view of dinosaurs has changed. These are the dinosaurs that we have known about for the longest, and yet they are still able to surprise us. The story of Iguanodon is far from over.
