Triceratops was a large herbivorous dinosaur, approximately 8 - 9 metres in length and 3 metres tall. They could weigh up to 12 tonnes. Scientists are still debating the function of the three distinctive facial horns. Initially believed to have been used as defensive weapons against predators, theories have now emerged suggesting that they may have been used in courtship and dominance displays, similar to modern day rhinoceros. A partial Triceratops fossil collected in 1997 contains evidence of healed bite marks that match Tyrannosaurus, showing these animals not only interacted but occasionally survived their altercations with each other.
