Talk:Triceratops/@comment-162.254.122.151-20151202001046

I guess the scientists did very good in changing our perception of Triceratops, another famous dinosaur behind the contemporary Tyrannosaurus. Popular media such as cartoons, movies, and dinosaur-related books have featured Triceratops. Many depictions often portray Triceratops as an aggressive dinosaur, charging other dinosaurs, just like  a modern day rhinoceros does. To see if Triceratops could have charged other dinosaurs, an artificial Triceratops skull was propelled at what they simulated as Tyrannosaurus skin at 15 mph (25 km/h). When the skull reached its target, the brow horns penetrated the skin, but nose horn and the beak couldn't, and the front of the skull broke, indicating that Triceratops couldn't charge other dinosaurs; instead if attacked, Triceratops probably stood its ground and used its horns to gore the predator if it came too close.
