Being a herbivore, Triceratops had a diet mainly consisting of low-lying plants, shrubs, and ferns. 🌱
Their strong beak was perfect for stripping leaves off branches, and their grinding teeth helped them chew tough plant material. Since they were large, Triceratops needed to eat a lot—about 200 pounds of food per day! 🐢
They spent most of their day munching, which kept them nourished and strong. Their favorite snack might have been conifers, a type of
tree common during the Cretaceous period!
