The Triceratops was a large plant-eating ceratopsian dinosaur. Adult Triceratops were thought to have weighed between 12,000-16,000 pounds! One of the most commnly recovered dinosaurs in North America, the Triceratops has two recognised species: Triceratops horridus and Triceratops prorsus.

The Triceratops lived in the Late Cretaceous Period (65 million years ago); it needed its three horns to protect itself from the Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur. It is believed that a fully grown Triceratops was 8 metres in length and 3 metres in height.
