Triceratops

Triceratops is one of the best-known dinosaurs because it was such an unusual-looking creature. At the back of its huge head it had a hard bony shield, with a frilly edge. Paleontologists have found out what Triceratops looked like by studying fossils from millions of years ago. They have built skeletons and made models to show us.
