趣味知識

Parksosaurus had a longer shin bone than thigh bone, which helped it run fast.1

Its long toes may have helped it walk on muddy ground near rivers.1

Parksosaurus had strong arms that scientists think it might have used for digging burrows.1

It lived alongside the big meat-eater Albertosaurus and the duck-billed dinosaur Saurolophus.1

Only one partial skeleton of Parksosaurus has been found, including a skull missing the beak.1

The first fossil was discovered in 1922 near the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada.1
