Meet the Head-Butting Dinosaur

Pachycephalosaurus, which means "thick-headed lizard," lived about 76 to 74 million years ago. It was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. These dinosaurs were about 15 feet long, which is about the size of a small car! Their most remarkable feature was, of course, their dome-shaped skull, which was up to 10 inches thick! Paleontologists believe they may have used their heads to butt each other, like modern-day rams, although this is still debated.
