Safari Ltd Carnegie Scale Model Parasaurolophus

Parasaurolophus is one of the strangest of all hadrosaurs, or duck-billed dinosaurs. Its most distinctive feature was its curved crest that measured up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length. This crest may have served as a signal to help this dinosaur recognize members of its own species. Also, the crest of Parasaurolophus contained a complex system of tubes that may have resonated sound like the pipe of a trombone. These hadrosaurs might have made loud, bellowing calls in order to communicate with other members of their herd - perhaps to warn of danger, attract a mate, or discourage a rival.
