The ball and socket joint at the neck is one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever learned about dinosaurs.
Yeah I don't know why I hadn't heard about that before.
Agreed!
@@Camcolito interesting it never evolved in any other modern animal
@@eskanda3434 Yeah, it would seem to have serious advantages.
@@eskanda3434 you think maybe bc in this very moment I’m time, we do not have any apex predators that resemble a T-Rex? As in no defensive animal would have to evolve such mesmerizing traits
It's nice to see the triceratops being acknowledged as a truly dangerous adversary as opposed to rex food, as seen in most dinosaur media. (Especially in many video games. Herbivores deserve better)
Herbivores are more dangerous..... hippo, cape Buffalo kill more people than lions or tigers
Your comment made me lol
Herbivores have always deserved better, but just don't make good copy.
I dunno, they were regarded as highly dangerous in Dino Crisis 2.
Combat Notes from the Game:
"If you dare fight them you have already lost the fight. An angry Triceratop is unstoppable. The only thing that will stop it is an even more angry Triceratops."
@@BlueFox284 Oh nice, that is a notable exception
Predators usually go for the easiest prey. T-Rex would probably preferred other (less dangerous) animals to hunt on. Only attacking Trike when there was no alternative. And when it did it probably went for the sick and young. Keeping away from adults whenever possible. Predators would only attack animals that can kill them if there is no other alternative.
I dunno. Lions sometimes attack Cape buffalo, so it's possible T-rex attacked Triceratops sometimes.
@@philochristos Lions would hunt wildebeest and zebras before Cape buffalo. The word "sometimes" is critical. T-rex would have hunted hadrosaurs before a triceratops or ankylosaur.
The armored dino, Ankylosaurus, with its tail armed with a large heavy swingable bony mass could also pose Rex with a serous risk via breaking one of Rex's leg at either the knee or ankle.. Of course driven by hunger Rex would have waited for such animals to be at a watering hole with its guard down before attacking.
@@jamesbellefeuille2926 even a hadrosaur would be difficult prey. given, not as difficult as triceratops or ankylosaurus, but I'm sure a t rex wouldn't have a hadrosaur on it's first choice.
@@philochristos multiple lionesses from a pride hunt together, so unless T-Rex also hunted as in a group, it's not the best comparison. A single lion is less likely to take on a buffalo all by itself than one backed up by several other lions.
I saw a video of a cape buffalo messing with a rhino. The rhino finally stuck its horn into the buffalo and lifted the entire 1-ton animal up in the air with its head for several seconds. If a rhino can do that, I wonder what a triceratops could do.
I seen personally on more than one occasion were a bull tosses a round bale . A buffalo would be a toy to a rhino . The power of a tops would would make elephants look like a Billy goat
@@huckstirred7112 Ofcourse a elephant is nothing in front of Triceratops
@@lokeshadhikari7573 I think they are equal, size and weight are same
triceratops could probably break through concrete walls and knock down trees..
@@bartomiejzakrzewski7220 Largest species of Triceratops weight in at almost 11 tons! And was 10 metres from head to tail. That's bigger than the largest Elephant ever measured.
"It would require a stealth approach to take out a triceratops"
T-Rex: *RAAAAAAAWRRRRRRRRRRR* While it knocks down trees
True and lol
Yeah, that cracked me up as well. :p
Well scientists said that most likely the trex dident roar at all well not that humans can tear like a whale it was very high pitch scaring the shit outa Dino’s who might be able to hear it
Non vegeterian : i dont like this ... to much killing and blood
Vegetarian : OMG!!! So cool!!!
@@ericmykietyn360 Actually, they suspect the T-rex made an ultra low frequency sound that could be "felt" by other T-Rexs for miles.
“A stealth approach”... as the T-Rex runs over a tree to attack
FreshlySnipes The CGI footage in this show is really repetitive and limited.
@@hypn0298Lets be happy with what we have
Same difference. A stealth attack and a sneak attack are literally the same thing.
Roaring as it comes up behind it's prey really ain't that stealthy (or sneaky for the pedants posting here) either. Not only that but there's pretty compelling evidence that Tyrannosaurus SP couldn't roar in the first place.
“Rexy, sneak attacks don’t work if you tell them out loud...”
Triceratops: *Exists*
Tyrannosaurus Rex: Finally! A worthy opponent. Our battle will br legendary!
Imagine how insane it would be to watch a triceratops fight
"By the way, would the Triceratops go up,👆 against the Carnotaurus, Allosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Albertosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus,Yutyrannus, or a pack of Velociraptors, Utahraptors,or Deinonychus?"
watch dinosaur king
@@joeerickson516and raptors don't go in packs plus bruh velociraptor so small it would flee
That’s a 6 ton of pure power 💀
@@ShadowFungus yes
"A single blow from those horns can kill you"
Well Jeff so can any animal with horns
I feel pretty confident in saying I can survive a goat attack
@@mertz313 fair enough
@@mertz313 If a male goat hit your head, you´ll be in trouble.
@@mertz313 wow you so cool
@@mertz313 I think my chances of surviving a not-fighting bull (you know, like those smaller guys you see in farms and stuff like that) are also rather high. Won't take my chances though
Even to this day, Triceratops is my fav dinosaur. Every since I was a kid. Never changed.
Michael Song and mine.
Same here.
Me too. All the other kids loved Trex or raptors.
Ditto!
DoWorkNP nope, triceratops was popular was a T. rex
I suspect that it was rare for a T rex to try and take down a healhy adult Triceratops. Just as with modern predators like lions, wolves, tigers, etc. it will take down any prey that present good opportunities for a kill, and that will include some large, healthy adults occasionally, but in the main, it would go for easier, less risky prey -- juveniles, older specimens, sick or injured prey who can't escape or fight back effectikvely, etc. Animals aren't out to prove they're the toughest kid on the block, they just try to survive.
Yep, even something as deadly as a big
Grizzly doesn’t just walk up to an American Bison in its prime…or if it does it only ends one way haha
You are correct. This is why lions or wolves will single out one animal. It is usually the one which is slow, sick, injured, or old. And even then, the predator may risk an injury.
@@georgeweber7399
Or the very young.
Triceratops is my all time favorite dinosaur. He was the honey badger of his day.
More like the white rhino.
Imagine having a trained triceratops with a saddle and armor. I'd ride it everywhere and we'd relax and enjoy fruit together. It'd be awesome.
Beware of Traxes on this journey of urs
Hahaha that is funny 🤣👍
Get ark se mate😂
Cool!
In ark i would rather fear therzinos then t rexes
I bet that T-Rex and Triceratops didn't even fight much, probably ignored each other. Plenty of easier meals for T-Rex to get elsewhere.
well they didnt at all because they lived in different times
@@eagleeyedpsycho The T-rex and triceratops lived at the same time
They might eat the little ones when it could. Standard behaviour of an apex predator.
It would be hard to sneak up on but a parasaurolophus could be an easy meal cause it really cant fight back. But their hearing and herd mentality meant Trex had to be very quite to actually get close enough. They could hear for miles to it would be very hard actually. Rainy conditions would definitely give Trex an advantage but I'm not sure if they were smart enough for that though
There are fossilized records of t rex hunting bite marks on triceratops fossils to indicate they fought sometimes
The Triceratops may be shorter than the T-rex but that just gives it a better shot at stabbing it in its guts if it ran beneath it.
@Meat shredder 9076 I don't know man. Pretty much all horned animals charge.
Yup, being smaller is actually an advantage in this situation
@@jojomang3016 with the amazing sphere joint, I think the main purpose is not too charge. If it was charging animal it would develop something too support the charging and the impact from it. And it wouldn't need the straight horn, because it more often stucked on the victim and it would be meaningless
@@ferociousrazordino3581 triceratops was small but it weighed as much as t rex
@@emmahas2moms57 that was a typo, ment *shorter*
That’s so cool how they’re able to find video footage next to fossils. Badass.
Triceratops would have needed serious neck muscles to carry its huge head around.
Yeah, that's probably buried somewhere in the remaining 5 tons of mass behind that ball joint.
/sigh
More than likely. In fact, it may have been some of the best meat on a Triceratops, as a 2012 study suggested that Tyrannosaurs were probably *ripping off the heads off* the former just to get at that meat.
@@tscream80 fascinating! 😉
That’s exactly what it had
That 7k lbs of force seems awfully low. Really, only twice that of a salt water croc? Doesn't seem right and maybe they should visit the mathematical model this data is based on.

This joke is extremely old and tired.
And saved this record for 80 millions the years.
😂😂😂😂
Crazy to think these creatures actually existed. Triceratops, T Rex, Stegosaurus. Makes virtually everything nowadays seem tame by comparison.
Interesting fact. T Rex actually lived closer to modern day than to the time that Stegosaurus existed. That's how far apart they were.
@@Skrelnick222yup, 90 million years apart

Lol
Imagine you had the scales of ankylosaurus with the same tail plus spines of stegosaurus and the head of a triceratops. God damn a living tank

"A single blow from those horns can kill you"
yeah I don't doubt that a single *anything* from any dinosaur can kill me
A single blow from any animal that weighs several tons can kill a human.
he meant killing a t-rex, not a human
Toughest dinosaur triceratops
Ankylosaurus: am I a joke to you
Anky was a bit smaller, and if the predator manages to get its underside the anky is screwed.
@@alexy5611 And if the triceratops didn't have the chance to block a bite from the back then it'd be screwed too.
@@foe4675 that’s how trexes hunt triceratops. They come from behind. But would a Trex dare try to take on a full grown triceratops by itself? No. Ankys can defend themselves very well, but it would be easier to kick over an ankylosaurus than kill it than risk being impaled.
@@alexy5611 i would not mess with either of them if i was a trex
Ankylosaurus have tough defense and some have club tails for powerful attack, triceratops have powerful head as a weapon. Both is dangerous, if using head to head approach ,it will be a hard time for predators
Its crazy how such creatures used to live on the planet we live now and there's nothing as dangerous on the planet now.
Blame nothing we know of that is
Mankind is way moree dangerous
humans are, and one day ai
Im goku
Most dangerous land creature are in Africa today, but they used to be everywhere, the climate change after the end of the ice age killed many of them so we were also lucky in some ways, but anyway human would stand out as it is the most op creature to ever live, not the dinosaurs.
But no need to be as strong as a triceratops, an african buffalo, a hippo, a rhino or an elephant are enough to kill you without even noticing you was on their way !
6:45 On average T-trex avoided grown up Triceratops. Predators hunt dangerous pray only if there is no other option.
Yea, how many lions go for full grown rhinoceros or elephants? Not many!
I see...and you were there , witnessed that ?😂😂😂😂
trex weren't predators they were pathetic little scavengers. I seen it myself
@@ValiantReaper sorry for "triggering" you young lady😉
@thechris312 Well a Lion isn't bigger than a rhino and also doesn't weigh more. So it's not comparable, also Dinos were not as smart as mammals. But yes, I don't think they would risk attacking a fully grown triceratops often.
As a trex lover I hate to admit this but, in the situations where trex fought triceratops, triceratops probably won on a regular basis. Only the strongest and most experienced of trexes would hunt down a full grown healthy bull trike. And even then, they ambush attack most of the time.
But make no mistake, a trex would end a trike's life with a single bite if given the chance
Triceratops is my favorite dinosaur. One thing everyone overlooks in terms of its offensive ability is the beak. All ceratopsians have strong, sharp, massive beaks, and powerful jaws. If the horns don't get ya, the beak will!
an éléphant or mammouth can beat a tricératops
just them
@@gusgus-yp6qhNo the tric has a armored skull it’s literally the animal version of a shield and pike formation
tyranosaure like all great carnivors just charognards

Those tinay ass arms get me every time
6:07 its like a white rhinoceros on steroids lol lmao
Yeah but with 3 horns
That's the one that got me too haha
Those animals are AMAZING! Hard to believe such things existed
Dramatic animations aside, reality was probably more like... T-Rex: "Sheit. Mufuq liable to stab my ass. I'm gonna look for something easier to kill."
That's reality for you
@@bladeoftheruinedking2543 closer to reality than this documentary
Unless they were territorial
'stab my ass' 😂😂🤣🤣

Decent video:
- weird looking academia dude
- 2nd partly odd looking academia dude
- 10-20 seconds on each video segment - for those with attention deficit
- decent graphics, albeit a bit repetitive
Jeff J a bit repetitive? A BIT?
Perfect for american audiences.
@@PolluxPavonis LOL, maybe for some of them. But not for this American (me).
it's as repetitive as that one stuttering taxi driver that tried to tell me a "whats womens day called in the evening" halloween joke
@@PolluxPavonis Isn't that considered racism?
"Almost 360 degrees", discovery on point as usual 😂
its funny because that is accurate. 360 degrees is a 2D circle. not a sphere, which is 3D, which is what im assuming youre referring to
@paleopedia It's a full circle around the longitudinal axis. I don't see how that works out. If it's true (which I doubt) it would be very funny to watch. You would be unable to tell if its head is turned from the front, because it would be back in the original position.
As a kid, I always loved the triceratops because they looked cool. Now I know that I love them because they are cool
5:36 Interesting lego piece
Fucking lol!!
Fun dinosaur fact: There can’t be two gay triceratops in a relationship. One has to be a tricerabottom.

Wow🤣🤣
Tiger H. Lore lol!

"A single blow from those horns could kill you." No shit. The animal weighs more than a car.
Weighs more than a semi truck and that’s all bone and muscle
The largest triceratops is “Henry” - 18 tons. At the natural science museum in Springfield Mo. T Rex was about 9 tons. Triceratops was much bigger.
Today's rhino looks so huge. I can't even imagine how massive the tri-top looked in real life.
I I was just thinking the same thing dude. As I sit in my living room I look from one wall to the other, I think it’s like 24’ in length and my vaulted ceiling at its highest point is like 8’9” tall... 😳 lmao truly incredible these things are literally almost as big as my lil 2 bedroom house!
ruclips.net/video/cj6GM4x4-M8/видео.html check this rhino tossing a car around n then probs quadruple that...ha
While I love the Triceratops, I wouldn't say it's the toughest herbivore. THAT title belongs to the Ankylosaurus
Markus Laas What do you mean, "Ankylosaurus was better armored but not on the head?" Ankylosaur heads were almost nothing *but* armor. Even the eyelids had plates on them. Granted, they didn't have the ceratopsians' horns, but still...
Lance VS Hammer, they're tough in their own way.
And I don't think they have much reason to fight each other.
Markus Laas Be an interesting test to find that out regarding ankylosaurs, admittedly. And Triceratop's frill was useful for one other things - giving Tyrannosaurus leverage to rip its head off to get to the neck muscles (presumably after the former is already dead, of course). :p
@@Vertutame when did this turn to Monster Hunter?
Markus Laas ankylosaurus existed at the same time as triceratops and also took on t-rexes and being an equal fight
Always has been my favorite dinosaur. Triceratops!

Cheers to the man who risked his life recording this battle 🙌
T-Rex is so smart infact that its hunting methods are not just ambushing. Sometimes, if its prey is sleeping or faced backwards, Trex would do a sneak attack and sometimes, the juvenile Trexes drive the prey to the adults
6:26 "i whip my hair back and forth, i whip my hair back and forth"
5:01 when I see my teacher at Walmart
True
Lmao
Underrated coment
😂😂
yeah, but the Triceratops turned around gave the T. Rex a bad day.
Image seeing these 2 dinosaurs fighting each other in real life? Wild horns
They need to make a scene where the triceratops attacks a car thinking it’s a threat in the new Jurassic World movie that would be cool to see, or the defense circle they do to defend their babies.
Ankylosaurus would’ve been the tank of the dinosaurs as it’s only weak point was it’s belly it was fully armoured above and had a club for a tail
if you flip it it's dead..more like the tortoise of the dinosaurs
lyhthegreat yeah and flipping it takes big fucking balls mate something that can shatter bones in one hit won’t get toppled easily even by trex and if reed did topple it there is a high chance it’s gonna break bones in the process
Gastonia was heavily armored in spikes (or spiked plates) That dinosaur could also be one you wouldn’t want to mess with.
@@lyhthegreat With it's stance low to the ground, and theories if it tucking in its legs like a turtle to lay on its stomach against the ground certainly would make flipping it difficult. But not fully impossible if caught by surprise and overpowered right
@@cambella8622 would depend how close to the rail the predator would be. Think it would t be able to fully swing up to its back legs given the tail's structure, but it could be interesting.
But yeah, flipping it would be very difficult if not near impossible with the low stance or if laying on its stomach as close to the ground as possible. Would need to catch it by surprise and overpower it to do so
"Triceratops is the most dangerous dinosaur, probably the most dangerous animal ever to evolved on land." Well, that's selling the poor ankylosaurs and stegosaurs short.
Stegosaurs also lived with megalosaurs like Torvosaurus, which were the largest predators of their environment (with only Saurophaganax and the dubious Epanterias coming close). Now, granted, I'm not certain how Torovosaurus compares in build and jaw power to a Tyrannosaurus, but the former were not the "weak" and "fragile" Allosaurs (which, IMHO, is selling poor Allosaurus short).
Ankylosaurus and Stegosaurus have pretty much no sense of smell so it's still pretty easy to counter them. Also, a T. rex can just step on the ankylosaurus' back and crush it to death without it noticing since it had poor eyesight, poor hearing, and poor smell.
Triceratops has no advantage over ankylosaurus...
All tve anky had to do is to place a good hit on the head and the trike would lose lol
Trikes horns are to high up to damage the anky on its weak spot.
The horns would prolly not penetrate the heavy bone armor (Maybe when charging but not in a 1v1) also anky had the range advangage.
@@azizella2778 trike can just step on anky's back and crush it with 12 tons of weight. But then again, i don't think it has enough cognitive abilities to come up a tactic like that. Also, the trike can still surprise the anky since the anky doesn't have a well developed sense of smell. But i still think anky could beat trike more times
@@ifureadthis_urgay Yeah well I still wouldn't think it would be able to crush it, since it just wouldn't work like that. Trike may surprise attack the anky, but it wouldn't kill it. But Im talking about a 1v1 situation here. Also the maximum is 12 tons, which means not every trike would weigh so much. The most comon would probably be around 8-9 tons.
The earth really would shake and pound with these two having a dance. Awesome.
I remember watching this on Animal Planet as a kid. I thought it was phenomenal. Now we have Prehistoric Planet, and the difference is so striking I struggle to put it into words.
Best shield and spear at that time!
LOVE THAT TRICERATOPS
as a longtime Triceratops fan, I agree.
not fan just the réality
Learned something new today. I had no idea they had a ball and socket type vertabre that was awesome
I remember seeing a documentary as a kid about triceratops and the fact that they have a ball joint in their neck. It was really interesting. Wouldn't it hurt if the horns are part of your skull and you would just smash into something? I recently watched a video by National geographic, where they said that as the triceratops became bigger, their horns started to become hollow and frills to thin.
I mean rams and bulls have horns and they ram it into other skulls of animals
This is a comment but still, I remember having heard a theory that says that the Horns, in addition to the bone, had keratin, not only being even longer but being possible to regenerate them if they break, also there are many ceratopods with complete or almost complete horns so I guess it wasn't that much of a problem
6:16
"..... is not found on any other dinosaur or on mammal today." True, but I can find that flexible ball joint in some of my lego technic sets.
Is it the lego Trike?
"a giant white rhinoceros on steroids"💀
Tyrannosaurus probably left adult Triceratops alone most of the time, although a young one that was temporarily left unprotected by the herd could be a target. When an older Triceratops was having trouble keeping up with the herd, moving slowly, then Tyrannosaurus saw an opportunity. Even then, an old Triceratops could severely injure a Tyrannosaurus, so they might have worked as a pack. Smaller, younger Tyrannosaurs and older, larger ones might have worked together to kill an older Triceratops without getting injured, although this might not have been easy. Predators have to be very careful since they need to hunt regularly and can't afford to get hurt, or else they could no longer hunt properly and could starve or be killed.
Ankylosaurs presented a similar situation for Tyrannosaurs. The club on the end of the tail of some of the Ankylosaurs could break a shin bone of a Tyrannosaur, and the predators learned quickly to leave them alone unless one was injured or getting old.
Magnificent creature, those fights must’ve been something to see.
If a T Rex had any brains, also rare , it probably thought most of the time when it came across Triceratops.." stuff this "
So it was basically a mixture of a Rhino, Crocodile.
I was never a big fan of this dinosaur but now i think it’s awesome. I hope I can go back in time to see these guys fight that would be awesome
The evolution is amazing. Nature never stops evolving to survive.
“Triceratops is probably the most dangerous animal to exist on land” does someone want to tell this Santa Indiana Jones about humans
Humans would of never existed without the extinction of these creatures. Humans have the brain power but strength wise we're very low on the animal kingdom totem. The strongest man on Earth is still child's play for a gorilla, male or female. Hell, even an orangatang or chimp.
sleazyfellow yeah I didn’t realise T. rex was able to make nukes with those small arms... Or fashion throwable weapons like spears or figure out because dinosaurs are cold blooded they would have been easy pickings first thing in the morning or night, just look what primitive humans did to herds of the woolly mammoths but yeah lucky humans don’t rely on their physical strength as they can fashion tools to compensate for that. Also worth pointing out the smallest and physically weakest dinosaurs were the ones to survive the asteroid so maybe it isn’t about being physically strong rather who can adapt to the environment something humans have shown time and time again as they’re the only species that can be found in every corner of the earth
I thought we have long agreed to exclude human from any conversations about animal?
@@taskmaster9891
Humans are animals too
sleazyfellow humans are the most powerful animals on earth. While it is true, one man is not very intimidating in the grand scheme of animals, they rarely come alone. A humans strongest weapon is its brain. We are capable of advanced learned and extremely advanced communication and memory
"Most powerful jaws earth has ever known"
*Megalodon: You sure about that?
I'd argue otherwise. Estimates of Megalodon's bite force are around 40,000 psi, while estimates for T-Rex's bite 400,000 psi (Roughly).
That said, Meg's bite still isn't anything to sneeze at. Chances are it had such a powerful bite to cut through the blubber and muscle of the whales it often hunted.

Never thought of the triceratops like this before. Pretty neat.

i swear i watched this back in 2009
Narrator: "... relies on a stealth approach"
T-rex: stomping about
This video is incredible. I learned so much in less than 10 mins
Its amazing in the movies that when these two confront each other T-Rex always wins. I always thought different because when a T-Rex attacks the Triceratops there is to much belly exposed on the T-Rex for it to be successful.
the carnivors like t rex was nothing
just charognards
they dont fight anyting herbivors so tal so qaickl or so strongs for them
you can anderstand that
Combat would have been very rare between these two. Predators focus on week pray for a reason. Predators that typically go after strong pray almost always work in packs. Neither the rex or triceratops would want to fight because if both were grown and healthy it almost didn't matter who would win or come out on top. Chances would be much higher that both animals wouldn't survive unless one of them had gotten very lucky. Even today a small wound can kill you if you don't seek medical attention. If you watch the movie Blackhawk Down there is a scene in which a ranger gets his thumb shot off. This scene is shown to pay tribute to that ranger because even though he received some field aid he didn't survive that wound due to long term blood loss.
Loved this Dino as a kid
My favorite as a child…I had a mad phase for dinosaurs phase (never ended). No T Rex for me. Now at 71 I discover my triceratops was a tank! Good boy Tricie!
Billy The Blue Power Ranger brought me here, peace and one love ✌❤🤗 - Zach Van Harris JR
Trex + Triceratops = Diablos
jamit the slayer He's referencing the Monster Diablos from the Monster Hunter franchise,
But then you'd have a wingless, clubless/armorless Diablos.
Throw in some _Yi qi_ and _Ankylosaurus_ and you're set
Most carnivores went after young dinosaurs or defenseless dinosaurs, only way a carnivore would attack a fully grown triceratops is out of pure desperation to find food
So much nostalgia coming back to me
Mt favorite dinosaur!!!! Always loved Triceratops!!

FACK TRUMP do you believe in God ? Or science ? You can’t have both
JaDeD dRaGoN Ha ha. I’m Christian.
Right on, my bad than
Was you going to say something else if I believed in science? But no, it's alright. I'm a happy person, who's shy and nervous all the time. I just feel that I will see these creatures when I get to heaven. :)
Are you going to see these creatures in hell or in heaven? Good thing then that you are already dead. What is the worst a T-rex can do to you when you can't die for a second time.
“A single blow from those horns could kill you” = “Water is wet”
Survival of the fittest creates some serious contenders. Today’s TRex and Triceratops are the Grizzlies and Moose.
stop talking i just want to see the two dinausors fight
Félix Caramagno Sounds like you'd rather watch a TV show than a documentary.
He is explaining the triceratops not a movie lol
Imagine how the Triceratops would have evolved if it had a taste for flesh.
Triceratops would starve and death, it could not hunt. But a giant horned and armored, relentless aggressive natured animal would be scary.
Actually it’s proven triceratops did very rarely scavenge dead carcasses as crazy as it sounds. Most herbivores do this actually, deer, cows, horses, and even tortoises
dude that was SO DOPE at the end when he stabbed T-Rex in the eye!!!
That ball joint on the head is badass... never knew about that one.
Toughest were the turtles, Aligators, tortoises and others who survived & thrived.
All the small ones.
They aren't dinosaurs
jacob cass yes they are
Guan Li how? Dinosaurs have a completely different genome. The only thing they have I'm common are being reptiles.
YoBoiEli well, technically their descendants from dinosaurs.
The triceratops was a formidable defensive animal for sure and is the very reason mother nature had to create such an outrageously huge and deadly carnivore the T-rex. Nothing like the two will ever exist again in all the universe.
It's the ICONIC PREHISTORIC DUEL.
The RUclips rabbit hole: I went from a Demitri Martin standup bit where he talked about being allergic to lions instead of cats, to watching videos of lions vs elephants, to videos of elephants vs rhinos, to a video comparing rhinos to Triceratops, to this video here. My curiosity has been satisfied. I'm going to bed now
When a documentary beginns with " the t_rex is the most amazing creature to ever life!", i just close the video instantly cause I'm not a 5 year old.

IGHT IMMA HEAD OUT
The single greatest dino rivalry in history!!!
I've been down several RUclips rabbit holes this month. (Thanks CV.)
Tonight it's dinosaurs.
At least this is one of the few dinosaur media that depicts that Triceratops isn't just easy and common prey for T rex (If it was more than one t rex that attacked it, would definitely lose. If it was ambushed and struck at the right place, it would also lose). T rex, like all predators, isn't always a winner. Triceratops can defend itself well enough and possibly kill a T rex.
Triceratops has always been my favorite dinosaur but I DO have a question. Q: Did a triceratops gallop like a horse or lumber like rhinoceros? I would prefer it to gallop….
A: Triceratops could sprint at 20 mph. Because of how heavy it is, it can lumber like a rhino, but rhinos are pretty fast, so Triceratops can gallop at speed when needed.
Triceratops legs look fairly stubby, so they most likely lumber around most of the time.
@@annien.1727 can you show me video evidence of this? you speak as if you witnessed this lumbering and galloping
@@fitnesspoint2006 On RUclips, I've seen videos of rhinos charging at vehicles and I've looked up on some info about dinosaur speed online on Google.
don't many animals gallop?
“It represents, the more you fuck around…the more you’ll find out”
The Jurassic Part franchise has criminally underutilized the Triceratops
