Pentaceratops
Pentaceratops was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived about 76 to 73 million years ago. It had a huge skull with five horns: two long ones above its eyes, a short one on its nose, and two long spikes sticking out from its cheeks. Its head frill was very long and had small triangular hornlets along the edge.1

Zvinonakidza
Pentaceratops means 'five-horned face' because it had five horns: two brow horns, one nose horn, and two long spikes on its cheekbones.1
Its skull could be over 2.3 meters (7.5 feet) long, making it one of the largest skulls of any land animal.1
Pentaceratops lived alongside the duck-billed dinosaur Parasaurolophus and the tyrannosaur Bistahieversor.1
The first fossils were found in 1921 by Charles Hazelius Sternberg in New Mexico. The dinosaur was named in 1923 by Henry Fairfield Osborn.1
One very large Pentaceratops skull was later renamed Titanoceratops because it looked more like Triceratops.1
Pentaceratops is used as a guide fossil: its appearance marks the start of the Kirtlandian land vertebrate age.1

Mubvisi wengano
Ngano: Some people think Pentaceratops had five horns on its head like a crown.
Chokwadi: The 'fifth horn' is actually a long spike on each cheekbone (the jugal bone), not a true horn on the skull roof.1
