Jurassic World Evolution 2 Creature Showcase 13 (Parasaurolophus)

Ladies and gentlemen we are now at number 13 of our JWE2 Creature Showcase and this time is yet another iconic and most familiar dinosaur in the entire franchise of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, I give to you the Parasaurolophus,
Parasaurolophus, or Parasaur for short, is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur in the Jurassic World Evolution series, Originating from Late Cretaceous North America, it is among the most well-known hadrosaurs due to its elongated head crest,
Parasaurolophus was among the first species cloned by InGen for Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, By 1993, a herd of fifteen animals was present on Nublar, while thirteen were present on InGen's Site B facility on nearby Isla Sorna, After the park was abandoned in 1993, continued attacks by Nublar's Tyrannosaurus had reduced the Parasaur population on the island to nine by 1994, with the remaining dinosaurs congregating close to other large herbivores for protection,
Following the abandonment of Isla Sorna soon after the Jurassic Park Incident, the Parasaurolophus were left to fend for themselves, During the 1997 incident, several Parasaurolophus were briefly captured by InGen,
In 2001, several Parasaurolophus were briefly encountered by those involved with the Isla Sorna Rescue Mission, They were found living alongside other herds of Corythosaurus,
Three years after the 2015 Isla Nublar Incident, many Parasaurolophus were transported to the Lockwood Manor in California, USA, These dinosaurs were later released into the wilds of Northern California by Maisie Lockwood,
A year after the events at Lockwood Manor, a Parasaurolophus was seen drinking from a river by several people on a canoe,
Four years after the events at Lockwood Manor, herds of Parasaurolophus roamed the North American wilderness freely alongside feral horses, and some were taken to a sanctuary created by BioSyn,
Among the most well-known member of the hadrosaurs, Parasaurolophus is an average sized hadrosaur native to North America, measuring around nine meters in length, but is otherwise famously distinguished by its prominent, curved head crest, which extends out from the back of its head. Its name translates to "Near-Crested Lizard", While it usually walks on four legs, it can rear up onto two legs if it needs to run or reach food in high places, The base cosmetic gene of the Parasaurolophus has a light brown body, a white underbelly, a reddish back and crest, and dark brown stripes on its legs,
Parasaurolophus behaves similarly to the other hadrosaurs and is able to socialize and herd with them in normal circumstances, A herd is a necessity for this dinosaur due to their high minimum social requirements, They can otherwise mix well with other herbivorous dinosaurs with large maximum population limits.

[ISAAC CLEMENT]
“Okay so this next dinosaur, the Parasaurolophus, has a flair for the dramatic, especially where its head is concerned. It has a distinctive cranial crest, which is used for added resonance in its vocalizations and to regulate body temperature.”
[DR. ELLIE SATTLER]
“Alan hates it when people call this animal a duck-billed dinosaur. But if you look at its snout, you can see why. And the Parasaurolophus does have the most amazing crest on its head. The thing I remember the most are its calls. They're haunting. And beautiful.”
