Triceratops was a quadruped dinosaur characterized by a large, massive skull with horns and a conspicuous neck frill. Frill and horns were certainly used as defensive weapons against predators. Further more, they may have provided behavioural signals for rivals and to attract mates, much like the antlers and horns of today’s reindeer and rhinoceros beetles. The frill has already been discussed as attachment area for jaw muscles.
