Characteristics ~ ~ ~ ~
Iguanodon recently celebrated its 200th birthday as a valid genus. I'd say he doesn't look a day over 140. Iguanadons have one large thumb claw that point outwards making Iguanodon constantly give a thumbs up. These thumb spikes were used for combat stabbing other predators in sensitive areas like the neck and eyes.
