Rhino and Pentaceratops dinosaur. Artwork of an adult Pentaceratops (right) from 75 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum, left). The Pentaceratops is around metres tall at the shoulder and weighs around 6000 kilograms, while the White Rhinoceros is around metres tall at the shoulder and weighs around 3200 kilograms. Pentaceratops is an example of a horned, beaked cerapod (ceratopsian) and was herbivorous and had a neck frill. For an image comparing this dinosaur and the rhino to other cerapods, see C009/1359.
