Triceratops

Triceratops was a large, herbivorous dinosaur that lived about 68 to 66 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period. Recognized for its distinctive three horns on its face and large bony frill at the back of its head, it could grow up to 30 feet long and weigh over 10 tons. Triceratops likely used its horns for defense against predators and possibly for mating displays or social interactions. This dinosaur primarily fed on low-lying vegetation and is one of the most iconic dinosaurs, often featured in media due to its striking appearance and robust build.
