Triceratops was one of the last dinosaurs to exist on the planet before dinosaurs mysteriously became extinct. Scientists know this because the bones have been found in the most recent sediments containing dinosaur fossils.
Usually a peaceful plant-eater, Triceratops offered the perfect defense against marauding predators like Tyrannosaurus. Massively built, an adult Triceratops could grow to more than 30 feet long and weigh up to 11 tons, heavier an an elephant! Its skull was built like an enormous shield with a thick neck frill, a short, thick nose horn and two long brow horns which sometimes measured over three feet long.
