Maiasaura is a brachylophosaurin hadrosaurid from the Campanian epoch of North America. It has only one species, M.peeblesorum.
Maiasaura was added to The Isle in Patch 0.0.0.87.
In Real Life[]
Maiasaura lived in large herds, and it's maximum size was up to 30 feet (9 meters) in length. Over 200 specimens of Maiasaura, from hatchling to adult, have been discovered to date, making it one of the best-understood dinosaurs.
Maiasaura laid between 30-40 eggs in a circular or spiral pattern. Each nest was only 7 meters apart, meaning a full-grown adult could overlook two nests at the same time.
Baby Maiasaura were highly altricial, and could not move out of the nest upon hatching; their forelegs were not fully developed, and so walking would have been impossible. Maiasaura also grew quickly, with young growing from 41 to 147 cm in length over a single year.
This quick growth was likely related to the high mortality rate of Maiasaura hatchlings; 89.9% of all young Maiasaura were killed in this first year of life. Afterwards, the rate drops to 12.7% in the second year and stays at this level before spiking back to 44.4% at 8 years old, when Maiasaura became fully mature.
In The Isle[]
It is best to run from larger carnivores like Carnotaurus and Tyrannosaurus, but can easily defeat smaller carnivores such as Dilophosaurus and Utahraptor.
It is essential to live in a herd as a herd can guarantee more protection from predators. A herd scout is essential in order to warn her members of impending danger.

Similarly to the Avaceratops, the devs have currently made no announcements as to whether Maiasaura will get a do-over like almost every other dinosaur currently in the game.
