Triceratops (meaning Three Horned Face) was one of the most famous non-avian dinosaurs almost ever since it was found. It lived during the Late Cretaceous period at the end of the dinosaur era. It was one of the prey for Tyrannosaurus rex.
Facts[]
The front horns of the Triceratops in detail.
Appearance[]
It was the largest ceratopsian dinosaur and as the name suggest, it has three horns on its face, two above it's eyes, and one on the snout. It had a beak with many molar teeth meaning it was probably a herbivore. It was 29.5' long, 9.8' tall, and weighed 6 tons. And the frill of the Triceratops was used for mating display and to make Predators confused because the veins in the frill flushed blood into it and it makes it a blood-red which is perfect for scaring off predators and attracting a mate
Life[]
Triceratops also lived with Pachycephalosaurus, and Leptoceratops, but there's also predators like Tyrannosaurus rex, Troodon, Dakotaraptor, and Acheroraptor. It died out during the K-Pg extinction.
