dilo tse di monate

Dintlha tse di monate

1

Triceratops had a huge frill made of solid bone at the back of its skull, which may have been used to attract mates or scare off rivals.1

2

Its name means 'three-horned face' because it had two long brow horns and a smaller horn on its nose.1

3

Triceratops lived right up to the mass extinction that killed the non-bird dinosaurs, about 66 million years ago.1

4

Fossils of Triceratops have been found in huge bonebeds, with many individuals together, suggesting they may have lived in herds.1

5

Triceratops had a strong beak like a parrot's, which it used to bite off tough plants.1

6

Some scientists think Triceratops could have fought predators like Tyrannosaurus rex using its sharp horns.1

Dipotso tse di botswang thata ka ga Triceratops

?How big was Triceratops?

Triceratops was about 8 to 9 metres (26 to 30 feet) long and weighed between 6 and 10 tonnes (13,000 to 22,000 pounds). That is roughly as long as a school bus and as heavy as a large elephant.12

?What did Triceratops eat?

Triceratops was a plant-eater that ate low-growing plants like ferns, cycads and palms. It used its sharp, parrot-like beak to snip off tough leaves and had up to 800 teeth to grind them up.23

?Did Triceratops live in herds?

Most Triceratops fossils are found alone, so scientists think they usually lived alone. However, a few young Triceratops were found together, which suggests they might have stayed in small groups sometimes.23

?Could Triceratops fight T. rex?

Yes, Triceratops probably fought Tyrannosaurus rex. One fossil shows a Triceratops horn that was bitten by a T. rex and then healed, proving these dinosaurs really did battle.21

?Why did Triceratops have a frill?

The frill may have helped protect its neck, but it was not always enough since T. rex bite marks have been found on frills. It was also used to attract mates and help Triceratops recognize each other.23

?How fast could Triceratops run?

Up to about 30 km/h (19 mph) for a short dash, about as fast as a fast human runner. This is an estimate: nobody knows for sure. Triceratops was very heavy and walked on four legs, but its legs were strong, a bit like a rhino's.1

?When did Triceratops go extinct?

Triceratops died out about 66 million years ago, at the same time as the big mass extinction that killed all non-bird dinosaurs. It was one of the last horned dinosaurs alive.21

?Where was Triceratops found?

Triceratops fossils have been found in western North America, especially in the United States (Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, South Dakota) and in Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan).23

?How many horns did Triceratops have?

Triceratops had three horns: two long ones above its eyes, each up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) long, and a shorter one on its nose. Its name means 'three-horned face'.24

?Was Triceratops bigger than T. rex?

Triceratops was generally smaller than T. rex. Triceratops was about 8 to 9 metres long, while T. rex could reach over 12 metres in length.1

Mothubi wa ditlhamane

Tlhamane: Triceratops was a slow, clumsy animal that could barely move.

Boammaaruri: Triceratops was actually quite fast for its size, able to run at speeds of up to 30 km/h (about 20 mph) on its strong legs.1
