Triceratops

The Triceratops, meaning “Three-horned Face,” was a large herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period. It was known for its distinctive three horns and its frilled head. These features were likely used for both defense against predators and competition with other Triceratops. Despite their impressive appearance, Triceratops only lived for around 30 years on average, and were ultimately wiped out by the mass extinction event that occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period.
