Description
i've decided to do another nice bit of simple paleoart.
nothing too dramatic or anything....

basically it's Just a nice peaceful scene of parasaurophlus females browsing on the lovely vegetation of the flood-plains.
----------------
*BASIC INFO*

Name: Parasauroplus walkeri
Meaning: "near crested lizard"
Family group: Lambeosaurine hadrosaurs
Diet: herbivore (mostly a browser, though may have on occasion rear u to nibble at some leaves)
Era: late Cretaceous (specially the campanian era, around 83.6-72 million years ago)
Size: 7-10 metres in length and 3.7-4.9 m in height.
Weight: roughly 3-6 metric tons at least
Habitat: floodplains that became more swampy and influenced by marine conditions over time as the Western Interior Seaway transgressed westward.
Fossil's Locations: texas, albeta canada etc
Discovered by: Dr. William A. Parks in 1922
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
one major speculation I did with this picture was the large amounts of body fat on these hadrosaurs.
inspired by how much fat tends to be on animals in their niche.

I hope you like it
