It was one of the last of the big, heavy herbivore dinosaurs, dinosaurs that only ate plants. It was about 30 feet long and 10 feet tall. It walked slowly on four sturdy legs and had hoof-like claws. • Triceratops had a huge skull that was almost one-third as long as entire body! It had one of the largest and heaviest skulls of any land animal that ever lived. Two long horns stuck out over its eyes. These were about three feet long. One shorter horn grew from its nose. It also had a large bone rising out of the back of its skull. This is called a frill, and it protected its neck. • Triceratops was well-protected against predators. When a carnivorous hunter appeared, Triceratops probably ran at its enemy like a rhinoceros. With its long, sharp horns, thick bones and great size, even the largest predator would have thought twice about trying to eat Triceratops for dinner! Still, Triceratops would get eaten once in a while. One of its biggest enemies was the deadly Tyrannosaurus rex. • Triceratops was an herbivore, meaning that it only ate plants. It probably ate conifers, cycads, ferns and other plants that grew low to the ground. It could snip down tough plants with its hard beak. It could grind them with its many rows of back teeth and store food in its cheeks while it ate. This large dinosaur probably moved about in large groups. Triceratops lived about 70 million years ago. It was one of the last kinds of dinosaur to appear before the dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago.
