Triceratops dinosaur and rhino. Artwork of an adult Triceratops (left) from 68 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum, right). The Triceratops is around 3 metres tall at the shoulder and weighs around 11,000 kilograms, while the White Rhinoceros is around metres tall at the shoulder and weighs around 3200 kilograms. Triceratops 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.
