Edmontosaurus
"This is the largest member of the Hadrosaur family in Jurassic Park. It lived in huge herds in the Late Cretaceous and was one of the most common dinosaurs of this period. It is ideally adapted to life on floodplains and river deltas, eating plants that grew near water."
​
Edmontosaurus is a large herbivorous Hadrosaurid dinosaur present in the Large Herbivores class of the game. It's perhaps the largest dinosaur in the game that isn't a sauropod, and also the largest of the Hadrosaurs.

Pleasing Tourists
"More than a dozen dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous time period show up in Jurassic Park. This makes for easy matching. Pair up an Edmontosaurus with another herbivore like a Parasaurolophus (the best choice), Gallimimus, Styracosaurus, or Triceratops for the fun lovers. Dino nerds will be impressed with those choices, especially the Albertosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, which hunted Edmontosaurus way back when. Mainstream guests and thrill seekers generally won't be awed by Edmontosaurus. Thrill seekers only care if you serve up Edmontosaurus in the carnivore pen as the main course."

Sexual Dimorphism
Edmontosaurus is an interesting case regarding the potential sexual dimorphism, early designs of Edmonto had it with greenish and yellow tones, very vibrant and without prominent stripes like the final version has, it's unclear if they were specifically for sexual dimorphism or not, but considering how different they are from the final version, it's an interesting possibility.
