    Triceratops

    The name Triceratops comes from the


    Greek language, with tri meaning three and
    keratops meaning horned face.

    It is believed that fully grown Triceratops


    were about 8m in length, 3m in height and
    weighed anywhere between 6 to 12 tons.

    The skull of a Triceratops alone could grow over 2m (7ft) in length.


    The Triceratops is one of the most easily recognizable dinosaurs due to its large body,
    unique frill and three horns
    It needed its three horns to try and protect itself from the Tyrannosaurus Rex which
    lived during the same time period.
    The Triceratops was a plant eating (herbivore) dinosaur.
    Triceratops had anywhere between 400 and 800 teeth
    The US state of Wyoming lists the Triceratops as its state dinosaur.
