===Diet=== ''Corythosaurus'' was an ornithopod, therefore being a herbivore. Benson ''et al.'' (2012) realized that the beak of ''Corythosaurus'' was shallow and delicate, concluding that it must have been used to feed upon soft vegetation. Based on the climate of the Late Cretaceous, they guessed that ''Corythosaurus'' would have been a selective feeder, eating only the juiciest fruits and youngest leaves.<ref name="benson2012"/> A ''Corythosaurus'' specimen has been preserved with its last meal in its chest cavity. Inside the cavity were remains of [[conifer]] needles, [[seeds]], [[twig]]s, and [[fruits]], meaning that ''Corythosaurus'' probably fed on all of these, implying that it was a [[Browsing (herbivory)|browser]].<ref name="norrell2000p41"/>
