What the Triceratops Standing in Grass with Mountains page shows

The prehistoric animal stands on four legs in a grassy landscape. Its large body supports a heavy head equipped with three horns and a broad bony frill, the defining features of Triceratops. Mountain peaks and clouds fill the distance, while scattered clumps of grass surround the dinosaur on the ground.

Surprising facts about Triceratops and its habitat

Triceratops was a plant-eating dinosaur with a beak suited to clipping vegetation. Rows of teeth farther back in its jaws helped slice and process tough plant material. Fossils show that it lived in environments with rivers, floodplains, and varied vegetation rather than in the barren rocky settings sometimes associated with prehistoric life.

Evidence-based colors for Triceratops and the landscape

  • Triceratops skin: unknown, since fossils do not preserve reliable evidence of its original color
  • Horns and beak: unknown in life; their outer coverings were made of keratin, like modern horns and beaks
  • Grass: shades of green when growing or tan and golden when dry
  • Mountains: gray, brown, reddish, or green depending on their rock, soil, and vegetation
  • Clouds: white to gray, with bluish tones in shadow

What was the large frill used for?
Scientists think it may have served several purposes, including display, recognition, and protection. Fossils alone do not reveal every way the living animal used it.
Did Triceratops eat meat?
No. Its beak, jaws, and teeth were adapted for feeding on plants, making it a herbivorous dinosaur.
