Ouranosaurus

Its name means brave reptile. The remarkably tall bony spines that grew from its vertebrae were the framework of a sail made of muscle and skin. It is believed that it may have used it as a form of display or to regulate its body temperature in the hot African environment. It usually moved on all fours but could run or stand on its hind legs, occasionally leaning on its tail.
