Lambeosaurus was a duck-billed dinosaur that lived about 75 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period of North America. It was a hollow-crested hadrosaur and one of the world's most recognizable dinosaurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lambeosaurus had an oddly shaped crest on the top of its head that resembled an axe embedded in it. It has been suggested that this hollow portion of the crest produced low frequency sounds for communication between large herds or family members, enhanced its sense of smell, and may have added to its courtship display. The Lambeosaurus crest was probably used as a weapon or as a means of defense against predators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lambeosaurus was robust, with long, sturdy front and hind legs. It had a long tail that served as balance when the animal walked. It was like other hadrosaurs and moved on two legs. All these dinosaurs were thought to live in the water, using their crests as a snorkel or to store air. However, although they were well adapted to water, all hadrosaurs lived on land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They grew about 9.4 m long, similar in size to Corythosaurus. It was a herbivorous dinosaur that ate pine needles, conifers, ginkgos, seeds, cycads, twigs and magnolia leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lambeosaurus means \"Lambe's reptile\" in honor of its discoverer Lawrence Lambe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
