Edmontosaurus is a genus of duck-billed dinosaur that contains two known species: Edmontosaurus regalis and Edmontosaurus annectens. 埃德蒙顿龙是鸭嘴恐龙属下的一种,已发现两种类别:帝王埃德蒙顿龙和连环埃德蒙顿龙。
The Edmontosaurus was primarily a biped, but could walk on all fours, possibly to graze on low-lying plants. 埃德蒙顿龙主要是双足行走的,但也可四足并用行走,可能那样便于吃到低处的植物。
