Datos curiosos

1

Prosaurolophus had a small, triangular crest on its head made of bone, but scientists think it might have had inflatable nose sacs for display.1

2

Fossils of at least 25 individuals have been found, including some in a bonebed that suggests they lived together in groups near water.1

3

Its teeth were packed into dental batteries with hundreds of teeth, and they were replaced throughout its life.1

4

Prosaurolophus could probably walk on two legs or all fours, and it could reach plants up to 4 metres (13 feet) high.1

5

It lived in a warm, swampy environment with rivers and floodplains, alongside horned dinosaurs like Centrosaurus and the tyrannosaur Gorgosaurus.1
