Mantellisaurus was originally described as a species of Iguanodon but in 2007 Gregory S. Paul renamed the species a new genus. Paul chose the name Mantellisaurus in honor of Gideon Mantell, the man who discovered and named Iguanodon. Mantellisaurus was capable of movement in either a quadrupedal or bipedal posture, and is noted for having a similarity with the dinosaur Ouranosaurus from North Africa. Trackways from the same location that the Mantellisaurus holotype fossils are known from indicate that Mantellisaurus traveled in family groups.
