Tsintaosaurus was a duck-billed dinosaur that lived in China during the Late Cretaceous. It had a strange, hollow crest on its head that looked a bit like a unicorn horn. This plant-eater could walk on four legs or run on two to escape predators.21

Datos curiosos
Tsintaosaurus was first thought to have a unicorn-like horn, but scientists now think the crest was actually part of a larger, hollow structure on its snout.2
The crest was hollow and may have been used to make loud honking sounds to communicate with other Tsintaosaurus.2
It lived about 84 to 71 million years ago, during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.1
Tsintaosaurus is known from skulls and a partial skeleton, so scientists are still learning about its body.1
Like other hadrosaurs, Tsintaosaurus probably traveled in herds for protection.2
The name Tsintaosaurus comes from the old spelling of Qingdao, the city near where it was found.2

?What did Tsintaosaurus eat?
It was a plant-eater. It had a duck-like beak and strong teeth for chewing vegetation.21
?Why did Tsintaosaurus have a crest?
The crest was hollow and may have been used to make loud honking sounds to communicate. It might also have helped attract mates, and the hollow tube made the crest lighter.24
