Fun Facts
Did you know the name "Styracosaurus" means "spiked lizard" or "spiked horn face"? It's easy to see why, with that impressive horn and frill! This incredible dinosaur was a plant-eater, or herbivore, meaning it munched on ferns, cycads, and other prehistoric plants, not meat. Styracosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 75 million years ago, in what is now North America. It belonged to a group of dinosaurs called ceratopsians, just like its more famous cousin, Triceratops. Those amazing horns and frills might have been used for defense against predators, like Tyrannosaurus Rex, or for showing off to other Styracosaurs to find a mate!
