Frequently asked
What do the three horns on a Triceratops do?

What did Triceratops eat?
Triceratops was a herbivore that ate plants, ferns, and cycads from the ground and low vegetation. Its powerful jaws and unique beak shape allowed it to bite through tough plant material. Unlike today's cows and deer, Triceratops had specialized teeth for grinding fibrous plants.
