Parasaurolophus dinosaurs. Artwork of Parasaurolophus dinosaurs feeding next to a waterfall. Parasaurolophus was a hadrosaurid or duck-billed dinosaur. It lived in North America during the Upper Cretaceous period, 75-65 million years ago. It was a herbivore that inhabited grassy plains where it lived in herds. Parasaurolophus reached up to 10 metres in length and weighed up to two tonnes. Scientists believe that these dinosaurs produced sound by forcing air through the hollow crests on their heads

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the majestic Parasaurolophus dinosaurs in their natural habitat. The artwork depicts a group of Parasaurolophus dinosaurs peacefully feeding next to a breathtaking waterfall, creating a mesmerizing scene that transports us back to the Upper Cretaceous period. Parasaurolophus, known as a hadrosaurid or duck-billed dinosaur, roamed North America approximately 75-65 million years ago. These herbivores thrived on the grassy plains and lived in large herds for protection and social interaction. With an impressive length of up to 10 meters and weighing up to two tonnes, these creatures were truly remarkable. One of the most distinctive features of Parasaurolophus was its hollow crest on top of its head. Scientists believe that this unique structure allowed them to produce sounds by forcing air through it, possibly used for communication or mating rituals. The detailed illustration captures every aspect of these prehistoric giants – from their striped bodies and reptilian appearance to their graceful movements while feasting near the cascading water. This artwork is not only visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history and diverse fauna. As we admire this print, we are reminded of the wonders paleontology has uncovered about Earth's past inhabitants. It is through such incredible discoveries that we gain insight into extinct species like Parasaurolophus and appreciate how they contributed to shaping our world millions of years ago.
