    Parasaurolophi are freedom-seeking dinosaurs! They’d use Phrygian caps!! Down with tyrants, kings, and Tyranosaurus rex!!!

      Seriously, why would they wear hats so unsuited for their head shape? This answer suits their head shape perfectly and is far superior to all the provided answers.

    My daughter and I saw a video on YouTube a few years back where a kid with a nasally voice and a bad lisp shouted “PARATHOROLOPHUTH!”, and now every time we see one on TV or in one of her books, we have to say it exactly like that.

      My kid has always loved dinosaurs. One thing that always made me smile was that when they could barely enunciate anything, they would still say “pachycephalosaurus” perfectly every time.

    Does the head dong thing get sunburned? Does it convey a lot of heat?

    The point of a hat is to 1) keep sun out of eyes, and 2) keep the head cool by blocking the thermal radiation that is sunlight.

    So, picture 2 fails at both of those. Picture 1 is fine if the head dong thing is just unsunburnable horn and self-regulates its own temperature, plus it’s less prone to being blown off by the wind.

    If the head dong thing needs to keep cool then picture 3 is the way to go.

    Dude, what is with the dumb discussion on dinosaurs wearing a hat? It’s silly and unrealistic. The first one is the only one that makes sense, they would have cut a little hole in the top.
