Although the animal had very strong legs, they were not built for running.
Being one of the earliest discoveries among dinosaurs, subsequent discoveries were aiming at identifying similarities. This made naturalists put more than two dozen species under this group. However, as studies went on most species were grouped differently.
Currently, only two Iguanodon species exist: Iguanodon bernissartensis and Iguanodon ottingeri. They are also referred to as Mantellisaurus and Gideonmantellia in honor of Gideon Mantell who discovered their first remains. Iguanodon, alongside hylaeosaurus and megalosaurus, were the first to be displayed in public. The display was made to the British public at an exhibition hall in Crystal Palace in The mosasaurus and ichthyosaurus were also displayed.
