EDITORS COMMENTS
Maiasaura: A Nurturing Dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period This animated model of Maiasaura, a dinosaur whose name translates to 'good mother lizard,' is a mesmerizing addition to any natural history display. This bipedal, herbivorous dinosaur, which lived during the Upper Cretaceous period around 60-85 million years ago, is a fascinating example of the diverse range of creatures that once roamed our planet. Maiasaura is classified as a theropod, specifically an ankylopollexian, and is part of the larger group of dinosaurs known as Avetheropoda, which includes modern birds. However, unlike most theropods, Maiasaura was a herbivore, feeding on vegetation and providing an essential role in its ecosystem as a plant-eater. This model, created by Kokoro Ltd. for the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the intricate details of Maiasaura's anatomy. With its down-covered body and distinctive bill, this dinosaur is a perfect representation of the Anseriformes, or waterfowl, suborder, which includes modern ducks and geese. Maiasaura's fossilized remains have been discovered in Montana, USA, with numerous fossils of juveniles found near adult specimens, suggesting that this dinosaur was a protective and nurturing parent. This caring behavior, combined with its unique features, makes Maiasaura a beloved and intriguing figure in the world of dinosaurs. As we admire this animated model, we are transported back in time to the Cretaceous period, where Maiasaura and countless other fascinating creatures roamed the earth. This display serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of life on our planet.
