Some species of hadrosaurs had elaborate cranial crests or bony protrusions on their heads. These crests served as visual displays or vocal resonating chambers.

Hadrosaurus Dinosaur Information:
Hadrosaurus dinosaurs, also known as hadrosaurs, were a group of herbivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 85 to 65 million years ago. They were characterized by their duck-billed appearance, hence their common name "duck-billed dinosaurs."
Hadrosaurs varied in size, with some species reaching lengths of up to 40 feet (12 meters). They had a robust body structure, a long tail, and a distinctive duck-like beak.
Hadrosaurs were capable of walking on both two legs (bipedal) and all fours (quadrupedal). Their hind limbs were well-developed and allowed for efficient movement.
Hadrosaurs belonged to a group of dinosaurs called ornithopods, which were characterized by their bird-like hips and advanced chewing mechanisms. They had rows of teeth in their jaws that were constantly replaced throughout their lives.
Some species of hadrosaurs had elaborate cranial crests or bony protrusions on top of their heads. These crests varied in shape and size and likely served as visual displays or vocal resonating chambers.
Hadrosaurs are believed to have exhibited herding behavior, living in groups for protection, social interaction, and efficient foraging.
Hadrosaurs were primarily herbivores, feeding on a variety of vegetation such as leaves, fruits, and twigs. Their specialized dental structure allowed them to efficiently process plant material.
The first hadrosaur fossil ever discovered was that of Hadrosaurus foulkii, found in 1858 in Haddonfield, New Jersey, United States. This significant find contributed to our understanding of dinosaurs and their evolution.
Hadrosaurs were a diverse group of dinosaurs, and various species existed across different regions of the world. They were widespread and successful herbivores during the Late Cretaceous period, occupying a range of ecological niches.
