How big were Triceratops horns 6 No one knows why Triceratops had a frill on the back of its neck
Triceratops had a powerful body It had three sharp horns on its head They made good weapons A large curved bone called a frill made it look fierce No one knows what the frill did Maybe it helped the dinosaur stay cool Maybe it protected its neck Some people think it helped them attract a mate The two horns on the forehead were 3 feet 0 9 m long Fossils show only the horn core The horns were longer in real life 7
