Parasaurolophus

For the Parasaurolophus that appears in the anime, see Paris.

Parasaurolophus is an extinct genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous period. It is been known to use its long crest to make noises to communicate with others of its kind. Although female Parasaurolophus are usually shown with shorter, rounded crests, all such specimens are currently classified as a distinct species (P. cyrtocristatus), which lived at a different time than other specimens. More recently, the portrayal of its neck has been reconstructed as thicker and without the curve.

Trivia

• Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
  • Japanese: 頭にとても長いトサカを持つ草食恐竜だ。このトサカの中はくうどうで鼻につながっている。
  • English: A herbivore with a very long crest. This crest is hollow and connected to its nose.
  • Taiwanese: 在頭上有著很長的頭冠的草食恐龍,這個頭冠裡面是中空的,與鼻相通。
• DS Game Encyclopedia entry: A herbivore with a very long crest on its head. The crest is hollow inside.
• It was the first Gold rarity Grass Dinosaur card in the arcade.
• Along with Lambeosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Maiasaura, Iguanodon, Tsintaosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Saurolophus, Altirhinus, Corythosaurus, and Muttaburrasaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Grass Egg Card.
• The backs of later, Japanese-only editions of its cards (Super and Dinotector forms) sometimes show its mouth as black (it's supposed to be white/cream). This mistake probably comes from Super Parasaurolophus's mouth being black. Some arcade card images of Paris (and Super and DinoTector Paris) also mistakenly show her mouth as black.
• In the arcade and DS game, the Parasaurolophus’s roar is based on an elk’s sound.
