The Triceratops, whose name means “three-horned face,” was one of the most famous herbivorous dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 to 66 million years ago. This massive quadruped was known for its large head adorned with three prominent horns—one on the nasal region and two above the eyes—as well as a large bony frill at the back of its skull. These distinctive features likely played crucial roles in defense against predators or intraspecific competition. With a sturdy and robust body, the Triceratops was well-suited for grazing in open areas, feeding on fibrous plants. Its presence in late Cretaceous ecosystems provides valuable insights into the diversity and ecology of dinosaurs during that era.
