Meet the Triceratops, one of the last and most iconic dinosaurs to roam the Earth during the Late Cretaceous period. Instantly recognizable by its three horns and massive frill, this powerful plant-eating dinosaur was built for survival in a world full of predators.
Despite its enormous size, Triceratops was a dedicated herbivore. With an astonishing up to 800 teeth that constantly regrew, it was perfectly adapted for slicing through tough vegetation like palm leaves and ferns. While it couldn’t chew its food, its sharp teeth worked like scissors—efficient and effective. The Schleich® Triceratops figurine brings this remarkable dinosaur to life with realistic sculpting and a strong, grounded pose ideal for play or display.
