| - Gryposaurus was a hadrosaurid dinosaur that was closely related to Kritosaurus. It was once thought that both were the same dinosaur. Gryposaurus is featured in Dinotopia: Hatchling.
- Gryposaurus is similar to Kritosaurus, and for many years was regarded as the same genus. It is known from numerous skulls, some skeletons, and even some skin impressions that show it to have had pyramidal scales pointing out along the midline of the back. It is most easily distinguished from other duckbills by its narrow arching nasal hump, sometimes described as similar to a "Roman nose,"[1] and which may have been used for species or sexual identification, and/or combat with individuals of the same species. A large bipedal/quadrupedal herbivore around 9 meters long (30 ft), it may have preferred river settings.
- Gryposaurus is a character from the "Rite of Spring" segment of Fantasia. These are herbivorous dinosaurs with wide mouths. They live with other herbivorous dinosaurs and Dimetrodons. Image:Stub.png This character article is a stub. You can help Disney Wiki by [ expanding it].
- Gryposaurus is similar to Kritosaurus, and for many years the two were thought to be synonyms. It is known from numerous skulls, some skeletons, and even some skin impressions that show it to have had pyramidal scales projecting along the midline of the back.

A large bipedal/quadrupedal herbivore around 9 meters long (30 ft), it may have preferred river settings.
- Real Gryposaurus were eight-metre-long North American hadrosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. This species was once thought to be the same species of dinosaur as another hadrosaur, Kritosaurus, until the two were found to be different animals. Like all hadrosaurs, Gryposaurus ate plants, and had a distinctive crest on its snout. Its name means "hooked nose lizard".
