Datos curiosos

1

Saurolophus is one of the few dinosaurs known from both North America and Asia, which suggests they could cross land bridges.1

2

The first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton ever found in Canada was a Saurolophus, discovered in 1911.1

3

A huge bonebed in Mongolia called Dragon's Tomb contains at least 21 Saurolophus individuals, showing they lived in groups.1

4

Its teeth were packed into dental batteries, with hundreds of teeth that were constantly replaced, so it could chew tough plants.1

5

Saurolophus could reach food up to about 4 meters (13 feet) above the ground, thanks to its long neck and body.1

6

The crest on its head was a solid spike, not a hollow tube like in some other duck-billed dinosaurs.1
