A reminder that Triceratops regularly destroyed T. rex's
(hexbear.net)
Herbivores rock
Just a friendly reminder that three-horns were racist against long-necks.
Lmao god that movie is beautifully animated though
And everyone else. I specifically recall and sometimes use the line 'Everybody knows how stupid DUCK BILLS are!' Sarah's racist dad had some memorable lines
He was watching Fox News before mammals even existed. You can't explain that.
I always thought the hypothesis that the horns were exclusively ornamental was ridiculous. Like, they're practically aimed at t. rex's stomach
There are T. rex skeletons with horn marks in them!
I've never heard somebody say that Triceratops' horns were used exclusively for display. However it is very likely that ceratopsians evolved these weapons for fighting each other and not for fighting predators (this doesn't mean that Triceratops wouldn't have used their horns to protect themselves from predators)
This picture is fake where is the triceratops' .50 anti-materiel rifle? How could it even fire a gun with feet like that? Yet the t-rex clearly has a gunshot wound. Hmmm......
T Rex Shot in Ofixccer Involved Incident,Triceratops Arrested
Yeah, that's like that planet earth episode where they managed to get footage of lions attacking an elephant. A TRex going after a triceratops would be a very desperate TRex. There's a lot of tank herbivores a t Rex wouldn't generally fuck with. Wolves won't fuck with us unless desperate and most of the time if there's humans where wolves the wolves will avoid us cause we have a history of fuckinf them up. Also pure speculation but fossil evidence of such conflicts may be a coincidence of desperate times and greater possibility of fossilization during say, the early phase of a mass extimxtion
extimxtion
Extimxion UwU
There's a reason most predators rely on ambush tactics
Indeed, ask any 4channer
Off to munch some leaves. That shit's for scavengers 
teleports behind T-Rex
psssh...nothing personnel...kid...
Regularly destroyed T. rex's what?
Triceratops
spoiler
[Bum bum. They were super in love

AT-TE vs AT-AT be like
Hell yeah. Fuck that Sharptooth up, Cera!
throws up the pitchforks that some Chicago gangs use Veggie life.
Vegans stay winning.
: "how do you get your prot..."
tric: horns you to death
strong claim but I don't buy that triceratops were 'regularly destroying' tyrannosaurs. this is like saying walruses (the triceratops of the artic) regularly destroy polar bears (the tyrannosaurs of the artic) when really they have a toolkit meant to help delay or fend off attacks BUT THE POLAR BEAR ALWAYS COMES BACK.
Those are completely different animals living in totally different niches. Triceratops weighed more than T. rex for a start and is far more agile than a walrus on land.
Also there are Rex skeletons that show gouging in the bones from triceratops horns.
Much like lions often die trying to kill buffalo or elephants, rex's would have been taking a huge gamble hunting triceratops. That's not to say Triceratops also didn't also die regularly to T. Rex.
Aren't Tyrannosaurs now regarded as scavengers, due to their short arms?
Less like a polar bear and more like a large-headed hyena.
I am horrified and feel deeply threatened by the amount of anti-theropod propaganda here
