Hadrosaurs were basically the cows
of the Cretaceous. They would have
been a familiar sight in the forests and
swamps of North America.
What a sight!
Hadrosaurs are
known for having
some of the strangest
heads of all dinosaurs;
many of them had
a crest.

Horns
and frills
Hadrosaurs had stiff
tails. It is unlikely these
were swung from side
to side.
Parasaurolophus
Cretaceous cows
Male hadrosaurs
probably had
larger crests
than the females.
Lambeosaurus
had a
helmet-like crest.
Tsintaosaurus’
crest may
have been covered in
brightly coloured skin.
Corythosaurus
had a
plate-like crest.
All sorts of crests
Those striking crests
came in all sorts of
different shapes.
Can you think of any crested animals today?
