Description

look at the honker on this guys nose, and It's not even for the development of a great sense of smell. Rhinorex condrupus  was a recently discovered kritosaurin hadrosaur that was around 30 feet long and weighed over 3855 kgs ( 8,500 pounds).  it's large nose has an unknown function. hadrosaurs were not known for their keen sense of smell. perhaps it was there for the means of identifying individuals and it's even been speculated to anchor jaw muscles so it can mash tough plant matter.

I drew this in school based on memory from reading it's description. tell me what you think about it. I think I drew the hind legs a little bit too short.

edit: I realized I drew the fingers in the wrong orientation. I fixed that as well as providing a little more finer details.

Really nice pic of the new dinosaur =D

I know it's still unknown why Rhinorex had such a huge nose, but maybe it had the same function as the nose of a proboscis monkey, like for attracting females.
