Profile of a Pachyrhinosaurus
This side-view presentation depicts a Pachyrhinosaurus resting its weight on four sturdy legs. The skull is characterized by a thick, rough bony pad or boss across the snout instead of a long pointed horn, set against a wide neck frill.
Adaptations to Arctic Conditions
Pachyrhinosaurus lived in northern latitudes, including regions of Alaska and northern Alberta, during the Late Cretaceous epoch. Scientists believe this species adapted well to seasonal polar climates, which experienced long periods of winter darkness and cool temperatures. Instead of long piercing horns, Pachyrhinosaurus possessed a massive flattened nasal boss that may have been used in head-shoving contests with rivals.
