Reporter: Hello! Who are you?
Iguanodon: I'm an Iguanodon.
Reporter: Are you an iguana?
Iguanodon: Ha-ha! No way.
But my teeth look like iguanas' teeth.
That's how I got my name.
Reporter: You're much bigger than an iguana!
Iguanodon: Yep.
I'm almost as long as a school bus.
My body is nine meters long.
Reporter: I don't see your teeth.
Iguanodon: They're in the back of my mouth.
I don't have any front teeth.
So I use my beak to tear plants.
Reporter: Your hands look cool.
Iguanodon: Thanks. I have long fingers that bend.
They help me grab things.
And my thumbs are sharp spikes.
Reporter: What do you use the spikes for?
Iguanodon: I use them as a weapon.
I can also break open seeds with them.
Reporter: Do you walk on two legs?
Iguanodon: I usually walk on four legs.
But I can also walk on two.
Reporter: Is this the Cretaceous period?
Iguanodon: Yes, it is.
We are 125 million years before your time.
Reporter: Whoa! That's a long time ago.
Iguanodon: You're right.
I live way before Tyrannosauruses and Triceratops.
Reporter: Thanks for talking with me, Iguanodon.
Iguanodon: Any time, little reporter.
