Trachodon, also known as Anatosaurus, lived in many parts of the world, from Canada to China. He had a rather broad, duck like beak and no less than four rows of grinding teeth. Trachodon was an inoffensive plant-eating reptile who, judging from his webbed feet, spent a good deal of time in the water. He was the first dinosaur to be discovered in the United States. * Source: back of card
