Here is everything you need to know about Edmontosaurus:

The duck-billed dinosaur has a very low aggression rate. It can grow up to 36 feet long and weigh up to 4000 kg. It loves munching fruits and vegetables. It also likes hanging out in herds. Edmontosaurus belongs to Hadrosaur family and is related to Parasaurolophus.

According to the official Jurassic World website, the pre-historic animal was once threatened by Tyrannosaurus Rex. The website also claimed that it is one of the few dinosaurs that can chew and grind vegetables to pulp before swallowing.

The fossils of Edmontosaurus were found in the rocks of Western North America and it is dated back to the Cretaceous Period. The dinosaur is known as a non-avian dinosaur that lived along with Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus.

It's been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles.

When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who's still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission.
