Iinyani ezimnandi
Sinoceratops had a short, hooked horn on its nose and no horns above its eyes, which is different from many other horned dinosaurs.1
Its neck frill had a row of forward-curving hornlets that made it look like a crown, plus a series of low knobs on top that no other horned dinosaur has.1
The skull of Sinoceratops was about 180 cm (5.9 ft) long, making it one of the largest centrosaurine skulls known.2
It was much larger than most other centrosaurines, similar in size to some chasmosaurines.2
Sinoceratops lived alongside the giant duck-billed dinosaur Shantungosaurus and the tyrannosaur Zhuchengtyrannus.1
It is the only ceratopsid dinosaur known from Asia; all other ceratopsids are from North America.1

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Sinoceratops

About 5 metres (16 ft) long and 2 tonnes (2.2 short tons) in weight.1
?What did Sinoceratops eat?
It was a plant-eater, a herbivore that ate plants.1
?Did Sinoceratops have feathers?
No, there is no evidence that Sinoceratops had feathers. It was a horned dinosaur with scaly skin like other ceratopsians.1
?Was Sinoceratops bigger than Triceratops?
No, Sinoceratops was smaller. Triceratops could grow up to 9 metres (30 ft) long, while Sinoceratops was about 5 metres (16 ft).1
?When did Sinoceratops live?
It lived about 77.3 to 73.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.1
?Where was Sinoceratops found?
Its fossils were discovered in Shandong province, China, in the Hongtuya Formation.1
Inyaniso ngeentsomi
Intsomi: Some people think all horned dinosaurs lived in North America.
Inyaniso: Sinoceratops is the first and only ceratopsid dinosaur found in China, showing that they also lived in Asia.1

- Kusaxoxwa ngayo
- Scientists debate whether Sinoceratops is a basal centrosaurine or more closely related to chasmosaurines, because it has features of both groups.2
