This creature existed about 205 million years ago and is the only known dinosaur to have lived in eastern Canada. Adults were between three to five meters in length, weighed about 200 kilograms and were herbivores feeding off foliages while standing on their powerful hind legs.

When these small dinosaurs roamed the Bay of Fundy area, the landscape was much different than today's. The climate was semi-arid, sand dunes covered the valleys, and the Atlantic Ocean had not yet been formed.
