Triceratops, a herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period about 68 million years ago, weighed between 5 and 9 metric tons. This impressive quadruped featured three striking horns and a distinctive bony frill crowning its large skull. Its two prominent horns above the eyes stood out, complemented by a smaller nasal horn on the snout. Along the edge of its expanded frill, numerous small spikes added to its formidable appearance. Sharing its environment with the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Triceratops remains a captivating symbol of prehistoric life worth discovering.
