Saurolophus
Click here for more Saurolophus Pictures
Saurolophus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived
in North America and Asia,
during the late
Cretaceous period,
about 74 to 70 million years ago.
It is named for the crest on its head: Saurolophus means
"crested lizard", and was first described by
Barnum Brown
in
1912.
North American examples were about 30 feet (9.1 meters) long,
whereas in Asia, it grew up to 39 feet (11.9 meters).
Like other duckbilled dinosaurs, Saurolophus is believed to have lived in
herds.
The crest on its head was hollow, and connected to the nasal passages,
and thus could have been used to make sounds.
Saurolophus could use these sounds to communicate within its herds, for
example to warn of approaching predators.

Product Description:
Parasaurolophus was one of the largest known 'duck-billed dinosaurs' from North America. The tube-like, bony crest on its head may have produced loud trumpeting sounds. This peaceful plant eater walked on four legs most of the time, but could rear up and run on two legs when it was in a hurry. It lived its entire life on land and used its sturdy limbs and hoof-like claws to support its weight. Its flattened 'bill' helped it to strip leaves from pine trees, and it used its hundreds of tightly packed teeth to grind the tough plant material. This fascinating dinosaur lived in Late Cretaceous times, around 75 million years ago, alongside a variety of other dinosaurs. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it. This model is 7.75 inches long and 2.25 inches high. It has a dappled pattern of brown and yellow to help it blend in to shady forests. |
