Answer:
Triceratops was a huge herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous. Its name came from having three horns on its head. They were mainly found in North America. As adults, they grew up to 30 feet long by 9 feet tall (9.1 × 2.7 m), and probably weighed around 5,400 kg . Triceratops was officially named and described by American paleontologist O.C. Marsh in 1889. At present there are two recognized species: T. horridus and T. prorsus.

Answer:
With its 3 horns, a parrot-like beak and a large frill that could reach nearly 1 metre (3 feet) across, the Triceratops skull is one of the largest and most striking of any land animal. The horns could have been used to fend off attacks from Tyrannosaurus.
