Fun Facts About Triceratops
Triceratops was a powerful dino on four sturdy legs and weighed several tons – strong enough to carry a little friend, at least on our page! It was one of the most common dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period in western North America, where scientists have found lots of its fossils. In Montana, they even discovered the bones of three young Triceratops close together. That might mean young ones traveled in groups. It ate plants with its parrot-like beak.
