Maiasaura is a hadrosaurid dinosaur famous for its reputation as the "good mother lizard". Fossil evidence shows that Maiasaura cared for its young in nesting colonies, returning to the same nesting grounds year after year. Lightweight for its size and capable of running, Maiasaura was a social, herd-dwelling herbivore of the Late Cretaceous.
