Olorotitan (SciiFii)

Olorotitan magnificens is a species of lambeosaurine hadrosaurid dinosaur that originally lived from the middle or latest Maastrichtian-age Late Cretaceous in the Udurchukan Formation beds of Kundur, Amur Region, Far Eastern Russia, as an extinct species, Olorotitan arharensis, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across Eurasia to help boost biodiversity. Olorotitan magnificens is a large animal, usually growing up to about 8 meters (26 feet) long and weighing 3.1 tonnes (3.4 short tons) on average, however, larger individuals of 12 metres (39.4 feet) and weighing around 5.3 tonnes (5.3 short tons) have been reported. It is characterized by the large hatchet-like hollow crest adorning its skull, very distinct from the crests of its North American relatives. As a hadrosaurid, Olorotitan magnificens is a bipedal/quadrupedal herbivore, eating plants with a sophisticated skull that permitts a grinding motion analogous to chewing, and is furnished with hundreds of continually-replaced teeth. Its tall, broad hollow crest, formed out of expanded skull bones containing the nasal passages, functions in identification by visuals and sound. Like many other hadrosaurs, Olorotitan magnificens is a social animal that lives in herds consisting of up to around 25 individuals at a time. The conservation status of Olorotitan magnificens is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
