Tsintaosaurus

In 2013, studies have shown that the horn-like protrusion of Tsintaosaurus was actually the back of a bigger crest, meaning it would have looked more like Lambeosaurus.

Trivia

• Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
  • Japanese: 頭に一本の角を持つ草食恐竜だ。しかしこの角はぶきではなかったようだ。
  • English: A herbivore with one horn on its head, but it isn't used as a weapon.
  • Taiwanese: 在頭部有著一隻角的草食恐龍,但這個角似乎不是拿來做為武器。
• Along with Parasaurolophus, Lambeosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Maiasaura, Iguanodon, Ouranosaurus, Saurolophus, Altirhinus, Corythosaurus, and Muttaburrasaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Grass Egg card.
• Its arcade roar is a deepened version of the elephant trumpet used for Lambeosaurus.
