New hadrosaur found in Alberta

It has no name yet (is known as the Red Willow hadrosaur), was seven meters long and lived 70 million years ago. Can you believe the fossils were found in 1989 and only now they're telling us about it? :S

To be honest, you aren't far off. They probably lived a lifestyle similar to a horse, eating their greens and then galloping off at the sign of danger. recent studies have shown that hadrosaurs were very fast runners.

well according to dictionary.com to gallop is:

1.
to ride a horse at a gallop; ride at full speed: They galloped off to meet their friends.
2.
to run rapidly by leaps, as a horse; go at a gallop.
3.
to go fast, race, or hurry, as a person or time.
