Kritosaurus was a duck-billed dinosaur with a rounded hump in
front of its eyes. However, since only part of a skull has been
found, it is hard to say what it really looked like. It is
possible that it is an already named hadrosaur. It would have
been a typical member of the hadrosaur family, feeding on
plants, traveling in herds, and nesting together to protect its
babies.
Because so little of this dinosaur has been discovered, some scientists feel it may be a misidentified Gryposaurus or Hadrosaurus.
