Pachycephalosaurus (P. wyomingensis 'Thick-headed lizard') was a herbivorous browsing dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago.
It was a bipedal dinosaur with a large, rounded skull, with a thick cranial vault that it probably used in dominance fights between males.
Pachycephalosaurus measured around 5 meters long, 2.5 meters high and weighed around 2000 kilograms and although its exact diet is unknown, it is thought to have fed on leaves and other plant materials.
The habitat of Pachycephalosaurus was mainly in North America, where its fossils have been found in the states of Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming.
They lived in humid, forested areas near rivers, although fossils have also been found in drier environments.
It is also believed that they shared their habitat with other dinosaurs such as Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus rex and Ankylosaurus.
