The Triceratops was a large herbivorous dinosaur that lived in North America during the Cretaceous period. As an adult, it could reach a length of 9 m and a height of 3 m. It weighed up to 12 tons. Its name is because it had three horns on its face, a short one on its nose and two horns up to one meter long on its forehead; they were its defense weapons against carnivores. It also had a gorgeous, wide bony extension that grew at the back of the skull and with which it protected its neck.
