In Depth
The description of Napaisaurus was based upon partial remains that were considered to represent an iguanodontian dinosaur. If this is correct, then Napaisaurus would be the first of its kind discovered in China. Napaisaurus would have been a mostly quadrupedal dinosaur, maybe occasionally bipedal, that browsed upon plants.
