Torosaurus was a herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that lived during the Late Maastrichtian stage of the Cretaceous Period, about 68 to 66 million years ago, and weighed approximately 4 to 6 tons. Fossils of this dinosaur have been discovered in formations such as the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota and the Lance Creek Formation in Wyoming, as well as in other regions of the United States and Canada, including Colorado.

Torosaurus is best known for having one of the largest skulls of any land animal ever discovered. Its enormous neck frill, extending from the back of the skull, covered the neck and likely served more for display or species recognition than for defense. It is distinguished from its close relative Triceratops by a larger, thinner frill that contained two large openings, a key feature that sets the two genera apart.
