Parasaurolophus V3 (SciiFii)

Parasaurolophus alces is a species of herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur that originally lived in what is now North America and possibly Asia during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 76.5–73 million years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike Sciifii's first Parasaurolophus species, have been intentionally introduced throughout the forests, swamps, and open woodlands to help boost biodiversity. Parasaurolophus alces is a herbivore, mainly feeding on fruits, leaves, cycads, ferns, horsetails, and aquatic plants, that walks both as a biped and as a quadruped. It is a hadrosaurid, part of a diverse family of Cretaceous dinosaurs known for their range of bizarre head adornments. This species is known for its large, elaborate cranial crest, which at its largest forms a long curved tube projecting upwards and back from the skull. Its crest is used for visual recognition of both species and sex, acoustic resonance, and thermoregulation. Unlike most hadrosaurs, which are fully terrestrial, it is an amphibious animal, created due to a theory that some species of hadrosaurs were amphibious, much like Lurdosaurus. Unlike the first two Parasaurolophus species, it is a solitary animal and lives in most of its life alone except during breeding seasons, being a dinosaurian version of the moose. The conservation status of Parasaurolophus ferus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the animal's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities.
