n. bipedal herbivorous dinosaur [syn: ornithopod dinosaur ]
Usage examples of ornithopod.
The ornithopods, in turn, are close to other contemporary groups, the horned, ceratopsian dinosaurs and the domeheaded pachycephalosaurs.
To the east, the land slopes up to a plateau, good for ceratopsians, while to the south is flat country with more sauropod swamps and lots of ornithopod: duckbill and iguanodont.
The duckbill, like the other ornithopods, are wary beasts because they have neither armor nor weapons.
Indeed, neither Stromer and Markgraf nor the 2000 expedition team ever found evidence of ornithopods, though they have been found in Early Cretaceous sediments in Niger.
