In Depth
Huehuecanauhtlus easily has one of the hardest genus names to pronounce of any dinosaur. That aside, Huehuecanauhtlus was a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaurs that lived in what is now Mexico during the late Cretaceous. The region that the Huehuecanauhtlus holotypes are known from would have been near the southern tip of the landmass once known as Laramidia which stretched was made of up the far western portion of North America, all the way from Mexico to Canada.
As of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, a picture is slowly emerging of Mexico having a very similar collection of dinosaur types as the rest of North America during the Cretacecous, with a diverse range of hadrosaurs, ceratopsians, and probably even tyrannosaurs
