{# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Key differences (from DinoComparison model) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}

主要差异

  • T. rex was a carnivore; Triceratops was an herbivore that likely served as prey for T. rex.
  • Triceratops weighed up to 6,800 kg and had three horns plus a bony frill for defense; T. rex weighed up to 8,400 kg with powerful jaws as its primary weapon.
  • Both lived in the same time and place (Hell Creek Formation, Late Cretaceous North America), making them true contemporaries.
  • T. rex had binocular vision and a large brain suited for hunting; Triceratops had laterally-placed eyes and a small brain suited for browsing.
  • Fossil evidence suggests T. rex regularly preyed on or scavenged Triceratops — bite marks are found on Triceratops bones.
