Information

The Triceratops was one of the last large dinosaurs. Despite being an herbivore, it had a total of up to 800 teeth, which constantly grew back. Nonetheless, it was incapable of chewing food, as its jaw could not move from side to side. It used its teeth to cut up palm leaves and ferns.

Diet: Herbivorous
Period: Upper Cretaceous
Meaning: Three Horned Face
Fun Facts:
- The mouth was equipped with a horny beak and the heavy neck shield was of solid bone.
- Triceratops probably used its armour mostly in mating contestes, but it would also have afforded some protection against attack from giant meat eating dinosaurs.
