Lambeosaurus, a hadrosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of North America approximately 75 million years ago, is recognized by its distinctive hatchet-shaped, hollow cranial crest. This crest likely functioned as a defensive structure or a weapon against predators. The species featured a long tail reinforced with ossified tendons to maintain rigidity, complemented by robust forelimbs and hind limbs for support. As a herbivore, Lambeosaurus consumed a variety of vegetation, including pine needles, conifers, ginkgoes, seeds, cycads, twigs, and magnolia leaves. Variations in crest morphology distinguish the two prominent species within this genus.
