|
|
|
(try-SARE-uh-TOPS) |
|

|
|
|
|
Triceratops
means "3 horned face" |
|
|
|
It
was about 30 feet long and 6 feet tall. |
|
|
|
But
one third of it was it's head! |
|
|
|
Triceratops
weighed about 5 tons! |
|
|
|
Even
though it was huge this 4-legged dinosaur only ate plants. |
|
|
|
Triceratops
had three horns on its face. |
|
|
|
A
short nose horn and two brow horns that came out frm its head. |
|
|
|
Triceratops
also had a short , bony frill around its neck that was like a |
|
|
|
giant
collar. |
|
|
|
It
used its horns as weapons, usually to protect itself. |
|
|
|
Triceratops
also had a beak and very tough skin. |
|
|
|
Its
only real enemy was Tyrannosaurus Rex. |
|
|
|
So
Triceratops was one of the most dangerous plant eating dinosaurs. |
