Īt the age of about a few months, three Triceratops were taken to live on Isla Nublar to live as an attraction for InGen's Jurassic Park. The adult clones have epoccipitals on their frills instead of the juveniles. Unlike the originals, these clones have elephant-like feet instead of pronounced claws on the innermost of three of its five toes and have jugal horns on their cheeks instead of one. They had two skin variations, one being brown and the other being beige with stripes down the back. However, they were also aggressive as well, so they had to be treated with care. Thirteen Triceratops were created by InGen in their compound on Isla Sorna where they were taken care of by the workers there. However, this evidence is still open to criticism and is still yet to be fully accepted by the scientific community. The massive frill of Triceratops would grow longer and thinner in time, until it may have had the same holes as seen in Torosaurus (see Triceratops#Torosaurus as growth stage of Triceratops). In 2009 researchers under supervision of Jack Horner argued that Triceratops was actually a juvenile version of Torosaurus. The material that covered its horns in life would have added significantly to the length of the fossilized bone. The nasal horn shows the most variance among individual specimens, no two being the same. Some frills were very broad, others narrow. Horns and frills seemed to vary among individuals within the species. A number of skeletons show bite and chew marks that match the teeth of T. It was likely the main predator of these animals was Tyrannosaurus rex. Their large, horny beaks and long rows of teeth were well designed for chewing the tough, low-growing plants of the Late Cretaceous. Triceratops was a herd animal it is believed that large groups numbering into the hundreds roamed North America. Triceratops is the largest member of this family, reaching the size of a school bus. The ceratopsian family is one of the most successful and varied of the Late Cretaceous. Within the genus, at least 7 species have been identified. Triceratops is one of the most common dinosaur fossils found. These would be fearsome weapons against a predator.
Triceratops had a third, smaller horn on its nose. It had a huge frilled head with horns over each eye that could reach over 3 feet long. Triceratops was a very common dinosaur which lived at the very end of the Cretaceous period.
