Valdosaurus had the light outline of a long-legged plant eater. It stood on long hind legs, balanced by its tail, while its arms were much shorter. That silhouette contrasts with the great plant eaters that walked on all fours.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Valdosaurus
Fossils have been found in England, especially on the Isle of Wight. Some early bones belonged to young animals, while later finds revealed more about the rear of the body.
The size of an isolated bone can be misleading if we do not know the animal’s age. Young Valdosaurus specimens should not be treated as though they necessarily show an adult’s maximum size.
