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 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

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.

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

But this thing could have been from a totally different group of animals... compare the skull material to basal ceratopsids

One Last Thing I Forgot to Say, He Was Heavily Inspired by 's Work with Sister Earth's Leptoceratopsidae and The Ceratopsids of
both amazing works of speculative evolution https://t.co/6RTKZg4RCz

(I can't keep holding them off much longer from y'all lol)
Leptoceratopsids have evolved into a wide variety of forms throughout the Cenozoic of this alternate earth, designated as 'Sister Earth'. Below are two examples

seeing many extant animals in the replies, so how about some extinct ones; ceratopsids!

While most leptoceratopsids were fairly small, Udanoceratops broke that mold. This animal reached an impressive 4 meters and likely approached 1500 pounds.

Ceratopsids *might* be one of my favorite subjects to draw

In short, it explains that, although ornithischians likely DID NOT have a "new cheek muscle" bridging between maxilla & dentary, some (but not all!) of them, like ceratopsids, had jaw muscles originating inside the head that likely extended forward on the jaw for more leverage.

If you start showing me similar Ceratopsids I’m done for. Gimme some time to study 😔

For the final day of these posters is how my way of presenting evolutionary trees started. It is something I really enjoy doing. In here you can see Centrosaurine Ceratopsids, Ornithomimosaurs and Alvarezsaurs, Dromaeosaurs and Wessex Fm

Day 10 ~ Xenoceratops lived in Canada during the Late Cretaceous, and can be distinguished from other ceratopsids by the bony projections midway up its frill
