Corythosaurus was a hadrosaur or duck-billed dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous period. It was found and named by Barnum Brown in 1914 from a fossil found in Alberta, Canada. The skeletons found ranged from small juveniles to large adults. Corythosaurus crests grew and were differentiated between the sexes, Corythosaurus males had larger crests than females and juveniles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This dinosaur had a hollow crest on the top of its head above the eyes; the crest had been used to make sounds, attract mates, or to enhance the sense of smell. The nostrils of Corythosaurus ran up the crest when it breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During its time, the Corythosaurus crest made a great resonator, like a wind, brass musical instrument, or low trumpet notes to make calls to others or offspring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This duck-billed dinosaur was a plant eater and its mouth was composed of hundreds of small interlocking teeth that allowed it to crush and grind plant matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was 30 to 33 feet long, 6.6 feet high at the hips, and weighed up to 5 tons. Corythosaurus walked on two legs; it had shorter arms and a long, heavy tail. Its femur was 108 cm long.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Definitely not. It was a duck-billed dinosaur and an ornithopod; therefore, it was a herbivore.
Corythosaurus had a hollow crest on the top of its head above its eyes; the crest may have been used to make sounds, attract mates, or create a sense of smell enhancer. The nostrils of Corythosaurus rose through the crest when breathing. Its mouth was composed of hundreds of small interlocking teeth that allowed it to crush and grind plant matter. It was 30 to 33 feet long, 6.6 feet high at the hips, and may have weighed up to 5 tons. Corythosaurus walked on two legs; it had shorter arms and a long, heavy tail. Its femur was 108 cm long.\u00a0
Corythosaurus could run approximately 48 km\/h.
