3

Only one species is known: Aralosaurus tuberiferus, which means 'bearing a tuber' because of a bump on its nose.1

Scientists used to think Aralosaurus was a hadrosaurine, but later studies showed it is a lambeosaurine with a hollow crest.1

5

The skull of Aralosaurus is about 65 centimeters long, and the whole dinosaur was about 6.5 meters long.1

6

Aralosaurus is one of the most primitive lambeosaurines, and it is closely related to Canardia from France.1
