Paleo Info
Pachycephalosaurus is a genus of pachycephalosaurid dinosaurs. The type species, P. wyomingensis, is the only known species. It lived during the Late Cretaceous Period (Maastrichtian stage) of what is now North America. Remains have been excavated in Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming. It was a herbivorous creature which is primarily known from a single skull and a few extremely thick skull roofs, though more complete fossils have been found in recent years. Pachycephalosaurus was one of the last non-avian dinosaurs before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Another dinosaur, Tylosteus of western North America, has been synonymized with Pachycephalosaurus, as have the genera Stygimoloch and Dracorex in recent studies. Pachycephalosaurus belongs to the family Pachycephalosauridae.

- Most of Pachycephalosaurus’s calls were made by using goats, which appropriately fit its ram-like behavior.
- While classed as a herbivore, Pachycephalosaurus is able to eat meat by equipping the scavenger ability.
- If Pachycephalosaurus is using leap, and jumps as soon as it hits a dinosaur with headbutt, it will lift that target into the air, causing fall damage.
