I chose Triceratops
for my project
By Macky

Diet
• A triceratops is a herbivore so that means it
only eats plants, like low growths, palms,
cycads and ferms. They eat low growths
because they are small so that means they
can not reach tall trees.

the Ceratopsidae family,
Styracosaurus is also in this
family.
