Datos curiosos
Pararhabdodon was one of the very last non-bird dinosaurs, living just before the big extinction 66 million years ago.1
It was the first lambeosaurine hadrosaur ever found on the European continent.1
Even though it lived on an island, it did not shrink like some other island dinosaurs; it may have grown as large as its relatives in North America and Asia.1
Scientists think it could walk on two legs or on all fours, depending on what it was doing.1
Some bones from France and other Spanish sites were once thought to belong to Pararhabdodon, but later studies questioned those ideas.1
A bonebed called Basturs Poble has many hadrosaur bones, and some scientists thought they belonged to Pararhabdodon, but that is not certain.1
