Who are you?
I'm an Iguanodon.
Are you an Iguana?
Haha, no way.
But my teeth look like Iguana's teeth.
That's how I got my name.
You're much bigger than an Iguana.
Yep, I'm almost as long as a school bus.
My body is nine meters long.
I don't see your teeth.
They're in the back of my mouth.
I don't have any front teeth.
So I use my beak to tear plants.
Your hands look cool.
Thanks.
I have long fingers that bend.
They help me grab things.
What do you use the spikes for?
I use them as a weapon.
I can also break open seeds with them.
Do you walk on two legs?
I usually walk on four legs.
But I can also walk on two.
Is this the Cretaceous period?
Yes, it is.
We are 125 million years before your time.
Whoa, that's a long time ago.
You're right.
I live way before Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.
Thanks for talking with me, Iguanodon.
Anytime, little reporter.
