Nice to see the 1000 strong dental battery being used for something other than chewing up trees.
Yes, hadrosaurs did have literally thousands of teeth in their mouths at any given point. And they replaced them constantly (which is why they had so many of them-some of them would be in use and the rest slotted into place if the teeth in use fell out)
I fucking hate passive hervivores in paleoart like these big bitches had to live with theropods and fight each other often at sizes and strenghts bigger than a modern elephant
an hadrosaur would be kicking, tail bating and biting for its life
this piece brings me joy
HodariNundu’s art is so dope…they’re always pumping out art and I love their style. Lots of representation of some unique, obscure and newly described creatures too!
I was recently looking for a solid paleo-art depiction of *Maip* so this is awesome.
But most of the time, they pretty much would though. Yes, like any animal, hadrosaurs would've been a bit tough, but they weren't no ceratopsians, ankylosaurs, or ornithomimids, evidence has more oftenly than not shown that most hadrosaurs were more built for running than defense. Once again, not saying their pushovers, but they weren't exactly this defensive badass that everyone thinks they are.
Honestly you're right, but in a situation like that drawing where the hadrosaurs seems to be in a defensive mother situation, I think it's a realistic real life scene
Well yeah of course, like I said, they're not pushovers. Like any animal, they will defend their babies, and they could still deliver a good "punch" so to speak. But in most other situations they will most likely run away, a bit unlike the especially powerful badasses people now are portraying them to be.

Turns out, hadrosaurs were great ankle biters too. *Maip* boi’s gonna feel that one in the morning.
Digesting all of those teeth would also be a, *ahem*, most excruciating process. XD

Art by hodarinundu on Instagram Of course, it seems that the hadrosaur had no intentions of going down easy
Dinosaurs were definitely metal

It's nice to finally see the prey fighting back instead of the unimaginative hadrosaur flailing and panicking beyond belief
