However, comparison of the specimens with dinosaur skin shows that a similar integumentary morphology has previously been documented in hadrosaurian dinosaurs.
The majority of previously described dinosaur skin impressions are hadrosaurian.
The hadrosaurian down-flex in the spinal column has been smoothed out.
Except for human beings, most animals either stay bipedal as they grow or are able to run bipedally as juveniles but become quadrupeds as adults like some lizards, crocodiles and hadrosaurian dinosaurs.
