The Parasaurolophus is a herbivorous dinosaur native to North America,

renowned for its unique head crest extending from the back of its skull.

Its scientific name means "near-crested lizard," referring to its distinctive crest.

The Parasaurolophus can reach lengths of about 7.5 meters and typically moves on all fours,

but it can also stand on its hind legs for running or reaching higher food sources.
