Dragon of Old Harmless in Sheridan Dinosaur Unearthed
A 65 foot long duck billed plant eater dinosaur is being uncovered near Sheridan Wyoming. The giant reptile used to be aquatic and relied on its long tail for swimming with three toed bird like hind limbs. Teeth along the back of the upper jaw numbered over 2000 and were shed as worn, while a large duck like bill aided grazing on submerged vegetation. Remains from Montana and Wyoming indicate this species lived in this region toward the end of the dinosaurs.
