Rhabdodon, was a small one of the Hypsilophodontidae. Living in the Cretaceous it was sure to feed on the rough vegetation. An adult of this Hypsilophodontidae could grow 4 metres (13.3 feet) in length and 320 pounds in weight. Fossils show, it lived in Transylvania, part of Romania, during the late Cretaceous period, that would be 66 million years ago. They might have been faster ones among Ornithopods.
