A quiet garden setting surrounds a Leptoceratops as it stands beside a large growing gourd. Straight garden beds line the ground while a simple wooden fence frames the background of the scene.

Fascinating Facts About Leptoceratops

Unlike its larger relatives like Triceratops, Leptoceratops was a relatively small herbivore that walked mainly on four legs but could stand on two legs to reach low branches. It lived during the Late Cretaceous period in North America, foraging among fern thickets and early flowering plants. Its strong jaws were equipped with specialized teeth suited for shearing tough plant fibers like cycads.
