HOW BIG IT WAS

Muttaburrasaurus was about 8 m long and about 2.4 m tall at the shoulder.

Muttaburrasaurus was a large plant-eating ornithopod dinosaur. It was once thought to be related to dinosaurs elsewhere in the world, but it is now considered to possibly be uniquely Australian. The skeleton was found in Queensland in the 1960s and is named after the town of Muttaburra.
