Lambeosaurus Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Lambeosaurus: Lambeosaurus was a genus of dinosaur. "Lambeosaurus" means "Lambe's lizard". The name was chosen in 1923 by William Parks, and is in honor of Lawrence Lambe who had previously studied the animal. Lambeosaurus was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Lambeosaurus was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Lambeosaurus was a Hadrosaur (usually known as "duck-billed dinosaur") - a member of a group of related herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaurs that were very successful in the Cretaceous period. Lambeosaurus lived between about 83 million years ago and 65 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. Lambeosaurus was one of the dinosaurs which died out during the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction at the end of the Mesozoic Era. Lambeosaurus lived in North America. Lambeosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater). Lambeosaurus was typically about 30 feet (9.1 meters) long, but animals as large as 54 feet (16.5 meters) long have been found. Lambeosaurus weighed about 5 tons.
