Iinyani ezimnandi
Zhuchengceratops had a lower jaw that was about 50 centimeters long, which is very deep and thin side-to-side.2
Unlike its big cousins like Triceratops, Zhuchengceratops had no horns and only a very short frill on its head.2
Its skeleton was found in a bone bed full of Shantungosaurus bones, which are huge duck-billed dinosaurs.2
Zhuchengceratops lived about 83 to 72 million years ago, during the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous.3
Scientists think Zhuchengceratops was an adult because the bones in its spine were fully fused together.2
This dinosaur is a member of the Leptoceratopsidae family, a group of small horned dinosaurs that lived alongside bigger horned dinosaurs.2

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Zhuchengceratops
?How big was Zhuchengceratops?
Zhuchengceratops was about 2.5 meters long and weighed around 175 kilograms. That is about the size of a large pig.1
?Did Zhuchengceratops have horns?
No, Zhuchengceratops did not have horns. Unlike its big cousins like Triceratops, it had no horns and only a very short frill on its head.1
?What did Zhuchengceratops eat?
Zhuchengceratops was a plant-eater. Its deep, strong jaws and big teeth were adapted for chewing tough plants, possibly different from what other horned dinosaurs ate.2
