Lambeosaurus is a Coniferous Forest animal, although it also requires grass (10%) and fresh water (5%) in its exhibit. In Freeform mode, it is not adoptable until September 1. Lambeosaurus is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon and was added as part of the Dinosaur Digs expansion pack.

Its teeth were packed into 'dental batteries' which consisted of hundreds of teeth, which could have allowed it to chew tough vegetation. Like all hadrosaurs, Lambeosaurus was herbivorous and would have eaten a variety of plants. Footprints have shown that it traveled in herds for protection against predators, moving on its hind limbs and dropping to all fours to feed. Lambeosaurus lived in Canada during the Late Cretaceous period, around 75 million years ago. Different crests on the animal initially led scientists to believe that it distinguished separate species, but it is now thought that the crest is attributable to age and sex. It is believed that that this could have enhanced the animals sense of smell, or have created a loud bleating noise. Its nasal cavity ran back through this crest making it mostly hollow. Like many other hadrosaurs, Lambeosaurus had a distinctive crest on the top of its head a large square crest pointing forward and a small spine pointing backwards. Lambeosaurus, named after the geologist Lawrence Lambe, was a member of the hadrosaur family, a group of ornithopod dinosaurs that could move bipedally or quadrupedally and could be identified by their broad snout, which gives the group the nickname 'duck-billed dinosaurs'.
