About the Triceratops
Triceratops was a large plant-eating dinosaur with two long brow horns, a shorter nose horn and a wide frill of bone behind its head. It lived in western North America at the end of the Cretaceous Period, at the same time and in the same places as Tyrannosaurus rex.
How Triceratops ate
At the front of its mouth Triceratops had a sharp beak for snipping tough plants. Behind the beak sat rows of teeth packed tightly together, which sliced plant food as the jaws closed. Worn teeth were replaced throughout its life.
What the horns were for
Scientists are still working this out. The horns and frill may have helped Triceratops defend itself, or been used for display between members of the same species, or both. Fossil frills with healed injuries suggest they were used in some kind of contest.
