Real-world information
Parasaurolophus was an herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur. It lived 76 to 73 million years ago in North America and possibly Asia. While no complete skeletons have been found, it is estimated to reach about 9.5 meters long and weigh 2.5 metric tonnes. It is best known for its crest, which evolved from the premaxilla and nasal bones and contained a hollow tube extending from the nostrils before turning around and heading back into the skull. Hypotheses for the purpose of the crest include sexual display, communication, and thermoregulation.
