Genus Psittacosaurus is a term used to describe a group of extinct dinosaurs that lived during the early Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago. These dinosaurs are also commonly referred to as parrot-beaked dinosaurs due to their distinctive beak-shaped mouth. There are several other synonyms for the term Genus Psittacosaurus, including Psittacosaur, Parrot Lizard, and Psittacosaurs.
These dinosaurs were small in size and primarily herbivorous, meaning they primarily fed on vegetation. They had a unique frill around their necks, which many experts believe was used for display purposes, possibly during mating rituals. Despite being extinct for millions of years, the Genus Psittacosaurus continues to fascinate paleontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts alike.
