Iguanodon Dinosaur Grows Magically from a Capsule!

Iguanodon dinosaur video for kids.

See how the Iguanodon dinosaur sponge grow out of a magic capsule within a minute or 2. Amazing! Can even see the capsule softening and dropping away!

The name Iguanodon means ‘Iguana tooth’.

Iguanodon was a plant-eating dinosaur that had a conical spike on each thumb. It lived during the early Cretaceous period, about 135 to 125 million years ago.

Iguanodon had a horny, toothless beak and tightly-packed cheek teeth. On each hand, Iguanodon had four fingers plus a conical thumb spike on each hand (that was perpendicular to the other fingers). The thumb spikes may have been used for defense or in obtaining food; it ranged from 2 to 6 inches long. Iguanodon had a flat, stiff tail and three-toed hind feet with hoof-like claws. Its legs were much larger than its arms.

Iguanodon averaged about 30 feet long (9.3 m), 16 feet tall (5 m), 9 ft (2.7 m) tall at the hips, and may have weighed 4 to 5 tons.

This simple water experiment not only helps in our parent-child bonding with Leeroy, it also humbles us that we do not know the names of these dinosaurs and gives us an opportunity to learn together. 🙂
