They can also jump whenever something is in the way (such as small volcanic cones), but most of the time they will jump into the opposite direction after colliding with an obstacle. Like the Stegosaurus and the Triceratops, they can only survive small meteors and die when hit by a larger meteor. It cannot killed by strength boost. however. it can be killed by player after reaching sanctuaries.

Mounting[]
The player has the ability to mount the Parasaurolophus by landing onto its back. While mounted, the player is able to control and do a few things such as jumping. However, the player cannot eat critters or collect small eggs on the ground (only when your dino itself touches it), which can be a problem when you're trying to collect milestones.
