Lacertanihil Imperator is a highly derived Noasaur adapted for the open sagebrush and plains of northern Caira. These 6 ton predators are highly efficient walkers, often jogging down their preferred ceratopsid or iguanadont prey and putting their powerful bite to use.
New blog post! Using the behaviour of modern animals to answer the century-old question: "horned dinosaurs vs. theropods: how much did horns matter?" https://t.co/XGneHd5ecO.
Starring Triceratops #paleoart, because it's theropods vs. ceratopsids, who else could feature?
🦖 Daily Dino 🦖; Udanoceratops tschizhovi
At 4 meters long, Udanoceratops is the largest known leptoceratopsid, a branch of ceratopsids, as well as the only one known from Asia. It's believed to have been capable of both bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion

Centrosaurus poseidon:
A Semiaquatic ceratopsidae analoge to a hippo but much more pacific and omnivore, eating from vegetation to bivalve molluscs

Oh and never forget, ceratopsids evolved false eyes to mimic and exaggerate a tyrannosaur's stare thus creeping real tyrannosaurs out. But then tyrannosaurs mimicked ceratopsids' tyrannosaur mimicking frills on their butts. It's like poetry. It rhymes.

A-Qi the Sinoceratops was a large ceratopsian with fossils found in present-day Shandong Province, China. Sinoceratops is the only ceratopsid discovered outside North America so far.

Did you know that #Nasutoceratops was roughly the same weight as a large dairy cow? At just over a tonne, Nasutoceratops was one of the smaller ceratopsids. However, #JurassicWorld shows it significantly larger - about 2x its actual size

Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai - Colored pencil drawing of the big boss of Ceratopsidae 😉
But this thing could have been from a totally different group of animals... compare the skull material to basal ceratopsids
It's been a while, here's a Nasutoceratops.

What better to follow up a Tyrannosaur with than a Ceratopsid? This is Navisceratops Aki, known locally in Canthria as the Sunrise Devil
Working on reconstructing as many Ceratopsids as possible to learn the anatomy full art in replies #digitalart #CLIPSTUDIOPAINT #dinosaur #paleoart
New digitally colored digital reconstruction! This is Udanoceratops tschizhovi, a very big leptoceratopsid from Djadokhta Formation. It's known for its deep lower jaw. I emphazised its head with bright orange. 😀
Every single ceratopsid species we've seen has just been fantastic, and I couldn't have asked for anything more!
