Protoceratops
Protoceratops was a small, plant-eating dinosaur that lived in the Gobi Desert about 80 million years ago. It had a parrot-like beak and a bony frill on its neck, but no big horns like its later cousin Triceratops. It walked on all fours and was about the size of a large sheep.12

Protoceratops laid soft-shelled eggs, which is rare for dinosaurs.1
A famous fossil called the Fighting Dinosaurs shows a Protoceratops locked in battle with a Velociraptor.1
Juvenile Protoceratops could walk on two legs, but adults walked on all fours.1
The frill on its neck was probably used for display or to protect the neck during fights.1
Protoceratops had a horn on its nose, and one species, P. hellenikorhinus, had two small horns side by side.1
Its feet had wide, flat claws that were good for digging in sand.1
Protoceratops lived in groups and may have cared for its young.1
