Parasaurolophus by a Puddle
The dinosaur turns toward the viewer while its reflection appears in the calm surface below. Tufts of grass border the watery area, and the shapes of hills rise across the background. Its most recognizable feature is the long crest extending backward from the top of its head.
A Crest with Hidden Passages
The crest of Parasaurolophus contained long internal air passages connected to its respiratory system. Researchers think air moving through these passages could have produced deep sounds, possibly helping individuals communicate across a habitat. The crest may also have served as a visual signal that helped members of the species recognize one another.
