Challenge: Phase III: Parasaurolophus (Kid Challenge)

“Listen closely… The Parasaurolophus used its long crest to create deep, echoing calls that could carry across great distances. Communication like that helped them stay connected and aware of danger. If we’re going to understand creatures like this, we need to learn how they lived together and interacted with their world. Sometimes the most important thing in nature… is knowing how to listen.” -Dr. Eliza Fern
