In this video series for kids, we are learning about dinosaurs from A to Z. Today’s dino is the Triceratops!
A major dinosaur fan favorite is the Triceratops. The name means "three-horned faced." Its name comes from the dinosaur's most prominent feature, its horns! It was named by the paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1889. He discovered the fossils of its skulls and horns in Wyoming.
Triceratops lived about 66 million years ago. They mainly fed on plants and grasses that they could graze on. Weighing nearly 10,000 kilograms (more than 22,000 pounds or 11 tons), this mammoth armored beast was a challenging meal for a predator! Many herbivorous dinosaurs lived in herds as a means of protection from predators. Paleontologists know this because when they find fossils, they often discover the remains of multiple dinosaurs.
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the Triceratops! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
