Leptoceratops was a tiny horned dinosaur that lived at the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs. It had a small frill on its head and no horns, and it walked on two legs. Even though it was small, it was a tough plant-eater that lived alongside giants like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus.1

Prettige feite

Leptoceratops is one of the smallest horned dinosaurs ever found, only about the size of a large dog.1

Unlike its big cousin Triceratops, Leptoceratops had no horns and only a tiny frill at the back of its skull.1

The first Leptoceratops fossils were discovered in 1910 by Barnum Brown along the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada.1 3

Scientists have found at least eight Leptoceratops specimens, including several nearly complete skeletons.2

Leptoceratops lived right at the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 66 to 72 million years ago.6

Some bonebeds in Montana suggest that Leptoceratops may have dug burrows and lived in groups.3

Leptoceratops had a deep, pointed beak and teeth with simple roots, perfect for chewing tough plants.2

Mite-breker

Mite: Leptoceratops is often thought to be a baby Triceratops because of its small size and simple frill.

Waarheid: Leptoceratops is a separate, smaller species of horned dinosaur that lived at the same time as Triceratops. It had its own unique features like a tiny frill and no horns.1
