Description:
Lambeosaurus, or "Lambe's lizard," was named in honor of an early Canadian fossil hunter. Visitors to your zoo will be awestruck at the sight and sound of these duckbilled crested dinosaurs. As the largest of its kind, Lambeosaurus grows up to 50 feet long and can weigh up to 10,000 pounds. Perhaps even more striking than Lambeosaurus' immense size is the rigid crest jutting up from their heads. Described by many as "hatchet-shaped," the crest is actually a hollow chamber with connections to Lambeosaurus' nasal passages. By passing air through the chamber, Lambeosaurus can produce hauntingly resonant sounds that carry over a good distance. Lambeosaurus may sound familiar to you if you've ever listened to a person blowing through a large conch shell. When panicked by a T. rex or other predator, Lambeosaurus will sound an alert through its crest, letting others in the herd know of imminent danger. This alarm effectively gives each herd member the eyes of all the other herd members and helps ensure survival. Without the natural armored defense of an Ankylosaurus or the escape speed of some other dinos, Lambeosaurus needs all the help they can get to avoid becoming dinner. During mating season, Lambeosaurus will use their crest to call to potential mates. Nobody knows for sure what is attractive about a foghorn-style call, but it's probably wise to keep your Lambeosaurus exhibit away from any major waterways just in case. As an herbivore, Lambeosaurus will most often be seen standing on its two hind legs munching pine cones, leaves and twigs it has obtained from coniferous trees. Lambeosaurus will also get down on all fours at times, where its short front legs allow it to feed or drink at ground level along shorelines. Well shaped for chewing and grinding up plants, Lambeosaurus' teeth occasionally wear away or fall out. Those teeth that do fall out are automatically replaced by new ones, which is fortunate given the amount Lambeosaurus must eat everyday to keep healthy.
