I love that some of the scariest looking creatures are gentle herbivores. Those horns are a great defense.

if it were alive today, it would be in danger of extinction anyway, what with having 3 horns.

I can’t imagine how 68 million years ago is possible. That sounds way ridiculous. Lol

Well the clue was in the word. Triple horns. I find these the most interesting before the stegosaurus. T rexes are overhyped

About 50 triceratops skulls have been found total since the 1800's. Which is way more than most kinds of dinosaurs. I think I've read there's only been 12 raptors found. kind of crazy.

Scientists believe that the Triceratops was not a separate species of dinosaur, but rather a juvenile Torosaurus.
