Pachycephalosaurus

"Pachycephalosaurus, meaning "thick-headed lizard," is a genus of pachycephalosaurid dinosaurs. It lived during the Late Cretaceous Period (Maastrichtian stage) of what is now North America. It was a herbivorous creature, and as a bipedal dinosaur, it possessed long hindlimbs and small forelimbs. The thick skull domes of Pachycephalosaurus and related genera gave rise to the idea that they used their skulls in intra-species combat. This hypothesis has since been disputed in recent years."

 

Dinosaur number five in the series,

the Pachycephalosaurus, known for the dome on its head.

Suggestions for future dinosaurs are welcome as always.

Let me know what you think!
