Corythosaurus (SciiFii)

Corythosaurus americanum (name meaning "American helmet lizard") is a species of hadrosaurid "duck-billed" dinosaur that originally lived from the Upper Cretaceous Period, about 77–75.7 million years ago in what is now North America as an extinct species of Corythosaurus and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern North American forests and open woodlands to help boost biodiversity. Corythosaurus americanum has an average length of 9 metres (30 ft), and has a skull, including the crest, that is 70.8 centimetres (27.9 in) tall, which is used for species recognition and to produce deep trumpeting calls. Like most hadrosaurs, Corythosaurus americanum is a herbivore that primarily feeds on leaves, conifer needles, seeds, twigs, and fruits. It is a social animal that lives in herds of up to around 30 individuals at a time. During the breeding seasons, the males' dull brown crests (similar to the females' also brown crests) turn bright orange and males use their crests to display and for vocalizations in order to attract the females. The conservation status of Corythosaurus americanum is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
