'''Triceratops''' is a common name for the [[W:Ceratopsia|ceratopsian]] [[dinosaur]]s of the [[genus]] [[W:Chasmosaurinae|Chasmosaurine]].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Triceratops lived during the late [[W:Maastrichtian|Maastrichtian]] age of the Late [[W:Cretaceous|Cretaceous]] [[W:Period (geology)|period]], about 68 to 66 million years ago in what is now western [[W:North America|North America]]. <br />
<br />
It was one of the last-known non-[[avian]] dinosaurs and lived until the [[W:Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event|Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event]] 66 million years ago. <br />
<br />
=== Anatomy ===<br />
<br />
Triceratops bears a large [[Bone|bony]] [[W:neck frill|frill]], three [[horn]]s on the skull, and a large, four-[[leg]]ged body, exhibiting [[W:Convergent evolution|convergent evolution]] with [[bovine]]s and [[rhinoceros]]es. Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best-known ceratopsian. <br />
<br />
It was also one of the largest, measuring around 26 to 30 feet (8 to 9 meters) long and weighing up to 6 to 10 tons (5.9 to 9.8 [[W:Long ton|long tons]]; 6.6 to 11.0 [[W:Short ton|short tons]]). It shared the landscape with and was most likely preyed upon by the [[carnivorous]] [[Tyrannosaurus]], though it is less certain that two adults would battle in the fanciful manner often depicted in museum displays and popular media. <br />
<br />
The functions of the frills and three distinctive facial horns on its head have inspired countless debates. Traditionally, these have been viewed as defensive weapons against predators. More recent interpretations find it probable that these features were primarily used in species identification, courtship, and dominance display, much like the antlers and horns of modern [[ungulate]]s.<br />
<br />
== Etymology ==<br />
<br />
The name ''Triceratops'', which means '''three-horned face''', is derived from the [[W:Ancient Greek|Greek]] words '''trí'''- (τρί-) meaning "three", '''kéras''' (κέρας) meaning "horn", and '''ṓps''' (ὤψ) meaning "face".<br />

== Triceratops and furry ==<br />
<br />
Triceratops is the second most common dinosaur [[character]] seen /used in the [[furry fandom]] after [[Tyrannosaurus rex]], most notably due to its popular horned skull. The best know [[furry artist]] of Triceratops (and other dinos) is American [[animation artist]] [[Marc Schirmeister]] ('''Schirm''').<br />

'''Tyrannosaurus''' is a common name for several [[W:Taxon|taxa]] of carnivorous [[dinosaur]]s, the highest of them being ''Tyrannosauroidea'' superfamily. The most famous species of tyrannosaur is '''Tyrannosaurus rex''', or T. rex (often spelled T-Rex). ''Tyrannosauroidea'' is composed of many species, including ''Nanotyrannus'', ''Albertosaurus'' and ''Tarbosaurus''. It was highly successful group, lasting from the middle of Jurassic up to the extinction of dinosaurs at the end of Cretaceous.<br />
<br />
Tyrannosaurs' sizes ranged from 10' (3 m, Proceratosaurus) to 42' (12 m, T. rex)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_rnWeWWsF4|title=All Dinosaurs of Jurassic Park/World, ANIMATED Size Comparison, 1993-2022|author=Goji Center|date=9 February 2022|work=YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FLIzwNHCUE|title=EVOLUTION of T-REX in MOVIES & TV: Size Comparison (1918-2022)|author=FilmCore|date=1 May 2022|work=YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRiecAmGWHU|title=MARCHING DINOSAURS, Animated Size Comparison|author=Dane Pavitt|date=11 March 2016|work=YouTube}}</ref>, measuring from nose to tail. They were bipedal and balanced their massive head with their [[tail]]. Jaws, lined with jagged teeth, were their primary weapon. Tyrannosaurs had tiny hands compared to the body size, but these hands were nonetheless muscular and were probably used for a purpose. T. rex was among the early dinosaur discoveries. For a long time it was thought to be slow, small-brained, cold-blooded [[reptile]], but modern research suggests that tyrannosaurs were clever social predators. Today, T. rex is considered a cultural icon<ref>[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TyrannosaurusRex Tyrannosaurus Rex] at TV Tropes</ref>.<br />
