Triceratops, a fascinating herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period around 68 million years ago, weighed between 5 to 9 metric tons. This impressive four-legged dinosaur is distinguished by its three striking horns and a distinctive bony frill at the back of its skull. Its large skull featured a short neck frill, with two prominent horns above the eyes and a smaller nasal horn on the snout. The frill’s edge was lined with numerous small spikes, adding to its unique appearance. Sharing its environment with the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops remains an iconic symbol of prehistoric life.
