  • Der Parasaurolophus ist eine Gattung von Dinosauriern aus der Gruppe der Hadrosaurier, die zu den Ornithischia (Vogelbeckendinosaurier) gezählt wird. Funde dieser Tiere stammen aus spätkreidezeitlichen Gesteinsschichten (Campanium) in Alberta (Kanada), Utah und New Mexico (USA). Wie alle Hadrosaurier konnten sich die Pflanzenfresser wahrscheinlich zweibeinig und vierbeinig fortbewegen und besaßen den charakteristischen zahnlosen „Entenschnabel“ sowie Mahlzähne im Kiefer. Das auffälligste Merkmal ist der Kopfschmuck, ein langer, nach hinten gerichteter Knochenzapfen. Der Parasaurolophus gehört aufgrund seiner auffälligen Erscheinung zu den in der Öffentlichkeit bekannteren Vertretern der Dinosaurier. Kategorie:Hadrosaurier
  • Although female Parasaurolophus are usually shown with shorter, rounded crests, all such specimens are currently classified as a distinct species (P. cyrtocristatus).
  • Parasaurolophus is a Disney character encountered in Kingdom Hearts II ½.
  • Parasaurolophus appear in Turok: Evolution and Turok. They are relatively docile creatures and are hunted by Utahraptors. They will run away from the player if they get too close or if they are attacked by the player. On higher difficulties, they will attempt to whip the player with their tail or knock them over by bashing them with their head.
  • Parasaurolophus is a large herbivorous dinosaur. Parasaurolophus is a skittish animal. apt to run at first sight of the hunter, making it a tricky animal to hunt. Regardless of its tendency to flee, Parasaurolophus is docile enough to become the first animal available to hunt in Carnivores.
  • Parasaurolophus is a hadrosaurid, part of a diverse family of Cretaceous dinosaurs known for their range of bizarre head adornments. This genus is known for its large, elaborate cranial crest, which at its largest forms a long curved tube projecting upwards and back from the skull.
  • Parasaurolophus is a hadrosaur, or "duck-bill", dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period. It has appeared in several Disney productions. This particular Parasaurolophus is showcased in the Walt Disney feature film Dinosaur.
  • Parasaurolophus (/ˌpærəsɔːˈrɒləfəs/ PARR-ə-saw-ROL-ə-fəs or /ˌpærəˌsɔrəˈloʊfəs/ PARR-ə- SAWR-ə-LOH-fəs; meaning "near crested lizard" in reference to Saurolophus) is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that lived in what is now North America during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76.5–73 MYA.
  • Parasaurolophus was a hadrosaurid, part of a diverse family of Cretaceous dinosaurs known for their range of bizarre head adornments. This genus is known for its large, elaborate cranial crest, which at its largest forms a long curved tube projecting upwards and back from the skull. Charonosaurus from China, which may have been its closest relative, had a similar skull and potentially a similar crest. Visual recognition of both species and sex, acoustic resonance, and thermoregulation have been proposed as functional explanations for the crest. It is one of the rarer hadrosaurids, known from only a handful of good specimens.
  • Parasaurolophus is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that lived in what is now North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 76.5–73 million years ago. It was a herbivore that walked both as a biped and a quadruped. Three species are recognized: P. walkeri, P. tubicen, and the short-crested P. cyrtocristatus. Remains are known from Alberta, and New Mexico and Utah. The genus was first described in 1922 by William Parks from a skull and partial skeleton found in Alberta.
  • thumb|400pxSignifica parecido al reptil crestado.Era un animal muy extraño, con una cresta en la cabeza y un pico similar al de un pato. Los llamados dinosaurios pico de pato figuran entre las criaturas que jamás han existido, no solo por su pico ancho y aplastado, situado en el extremo del hocico, que recuerda al de un pato, sino también por los múltiples adornos que lucían algunas especies. Una de ellas era el Parasaurolophus, que tenía una cresta que podía llegar a medir 1 metro de largo.
  • Parasaurolophus are medium-sized duck-billed dinosaurs with ma ssive crests that are four feet long. Major Gator, a villain in Jungle Horror!, is a parasaurolophus. He was captured by Splatt and the cadets before Commander Gruff sent him, Prox the apatosaurus, Sergeant Palo the triceratops and Commodore Kallos to prison. One of the female cadets attending Astrosaurs Academy appears to be a parasaurolophus.
  • As is the case with most dinosaurs, the skeleton of Parasaurolophus is incompletely known. The length of the type specimen of P. walkeri is estimated at 9.5 meters (31 ft). Its skull is about 1.6 meters (5.2 ft) long, including the crest, whereas the type skull of P. tubicen is over 2.0 meters (6.6 ft) long, indicating a larger animal. Its weight is estimated at 2.5 tonnes (2.7 tons). Its single known forelimb was relatively short for a hadrosaurid, with a short but wide shoulder blade. The thighbone measures 103 centimeters (3.38 ft) long in P. walkeri and is robust for its length when compared to other hadrosaurids. The upper arm and pelvic bones were also heavily built.

The crest has been much discussed by scientists; the consensus is that major functions included visual recognition of both species and sex, acoustic resonance, and thermoregulation. It is one of the rarer duckbills, being known from only a handful of good specimens.
