speaking of hands

The mitten-hands were designed to increase surface area on the hands
much like snow-shoes increase surface area. Hadrosaurs walked either
bipedally or quadrupedally but went bipedal when running because the
front limbs could not keep up with up the hind limbs at a full run.

 The nearest dinosaur museums to the Smithsonian are the Philadelphia
Academy of Natural Sciences (3 hours by car) and the Carnegie Museum in
Pittsburgh (5 hours by car).
