Lambeosaurus, a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous period around 75 million years ago in North America, is renowned for its distinctive duck-billed snout and a hollow, hatchet-shaped bony crest atop its skull. This crest likely functioned as a defensive tool or a weapon against predators. Its long tail, reinforced with ossified tendons, remained rigid rather than sagging, complementing its strong, well-built front and hind limbs. As a herbivore, Lambeosaurus fed on a variety of plants, including pine needles, conifers, ginkgoes, seeds, cycads, twigs, and magnolia leaves. The crest’s shape varied notably between its two prominent species, marking one of its most defining characteristics.
