TRICERATOPS

A herbivore that could hold its own against the feared T-Rex and one of the two most popular dinosaurs of all time. The function of their frills and three distinctive facial horns has long inspired debate. Although traditionally viewed as defensive weapons against predators, the latest theories claim that it is more probable that these features were used in courtship and dominance displays, much like the antlers. You can decide for yourself. Triceratops was about 30 feet long. It's head, including the frill shield was up to ten feet in length.
