Description: Nanshiungosaurus is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived in what is now China during the Late Cretaceous period, about 80 million years ago. It was a herbivore that walked on two legs and had a long, low skull with a duck-like bill. Its teeth were adapted for grinding and crushing plant material, and it likely had a complex digestive system to extract nutrients from its food. Nanshiungosaurus was a medium-sized dinosaur, measuring around 6 meters (20 feet) in length and weighing around 1.5-2 tons. It is known from a number of fossil specimens, including a complete skull and several partial skeletons. Nanshiungosaurus is considered a member of the hadrosaurids, a diverse group of herbivorous dinosaurs known for their distinctive 'duck-bill' snouts and complex teeth.
