Corythosaurus, the Helmeted Lizard

(image source: https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/Corythosaurus/JW:_E)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lawrence Mack discuss Corythosaurus, a duckbilled dinosaur with a helmet on its head… except not so much a helmet, as I doubt it would help much against collisions with street pavement or Ankylosaurus clubs. But hey, maybe it would. I’d welcome being surprised. From the Late Cretaceous, this 30-foot lambeosaurine hadrosaurid is one of the few animals we know how it sounded, as we’ve 3D-printed its skull and blown air through it to simulate the noise those crests would help make. You’ve seen Jurassic Park 3, right? We all have, that classic film. Funnily enough, that’s the only Jurassic Park film this dinosaur is in! It’s almost like destiny.
