Corythosaurus
Click here for more Corythosaurus Pictures
Corythosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in North
America during the late Cretaceous period,
about 80 to 65 million years ago.
Corythosaurus was about 30 feet (9.1 meters) long, and weighed around 5 tons.
Corythosaurus had a bony crest on its head which connected to
its nostrils: this may have been used to make sounds, to help keep it cool,
or to enhance its sense of smell.
It was once thought that Corythosaurus, and other duckbill dinosaurs may have
been aquatic (and that the crest may have been used as snorkel), but it is now known that they were in fact well-adapted
land animals. They lived in herds, eating leaves, seeds, pine needles and fruit.
If attacked by predators such as
Tyrannosaurus Rex,
Corythosaurus could sprint away on two legs, and may even have taken to water.
The first specimen of Corythosaurus was discovered in
1912
by
Barnum Brown
by Red Deer River in Alberta,
Canada.
This specimen consisted of a nearly
complete skeleton, even including
fossilized
skin. Unfortunately, this specimen was lost when the ship (the "Mount Temple")
that was carrying it
to Britain
was sunk during the First World War.

Corythosaurus Facts
Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Corythosaurus:
