Triceratops, a genus of herbivorous dinosaurs of Ceratosauridae, mainly fed on plants. Fossils were found in the late Cretaceous and late Maastricht strata in North America, about 68 million to 65 million years ago. Triceratops is one of the latest dinosaurs and is usually considered as a representative fossil in the late Cretaceous. At present, there are two effective species: triceratops plicatilis and triceratops after all, but there are other generic names. Triceratops is also one of the most famous dinosaurs, and it is also very popular in popular culture.

Triceratops is a medium-sized quadruped dinosaur with a total length of 7? 9 meters, 2.4-2.8 meters high and weighing 5.5? 10 ton. They have a very big head shield and three horns, which reminds people of modern rhinos. They are famous for a large number of partial bone specimens found from 1887. For a long time, there has been a debate about the role of their three horns and head shields. Traditionally, these structures have been regarded as weapons against predators, but recent theories suggest that these structures may be used for courtship and dominance, just like the horns of modern reindeer, goats and unicorns.

Triceratops also appeared in three TV programs with the theme of dinosaurs: Walking with Dinosaurs, The Truth of Killer Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Parks.
