Pleasing Tourists

"While mainstream tourists might be happy that there's a giant dinosaur running around the pen, they won't recognize the name Parasaurolophus in a million years. Fun lovers will be happy, though, with these herbivores, especially if they're playing with Edmontosaurus. You can also team them with other big herbivores like the Ouranosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Torosaurus. Dino nerds will prefer the Ankylosaurus, Corythosaurus, and Triceratops, since they're all late Cretaceous inhabitants. Thrill seekers will get a kick out of Parasaurolophus running for its life among carnivores like the Ceratosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, and Spinosaurus."

Sexual Dimorphism

Parasaurolophus, despite not having intentional sexual dimorphism, did in fact have a very drastic change in appearance throughout development. The final version of the game, showing the The Lost World: Jurassic Park coloration of Para, with tan, dark brown and red, is represented to be the Male of the species. Putting two and two together, there's a possibility the early, caramel, white, orange and dark brown variant was intended to be the Female. Although none of that is confirmed or mentioned anywhere, it's an interesting possibility.
