Ornithopoda is a suborder of ornithischian dinosaurs. It is a group of herbivores that lived during the Early and Late Cretaceous periods, around 125 to 65 million years ago. The name "Ornithopoda" comes from the Greek words "ornithos" meaning "bird" and "pous" meaning "foot". This is because these dinosaurs had hip structures similar to those of modern birds, although they are not direct ancestors of birds. The Ornithopoda group includes over 150 known species, such as Hadrosaurs (duck-billed dinosaurs) and Ceratopsians (horned dinosaurs).
