Did You Know?

• Kosmoceratops once roamed a large island in western North America, called Laramidia.
• Kosmoceratops was only about 15 feet (4.6m) long, which is quite small for a dinosaur! It weighed from one to two tons.
• This dino is closely related to the Triceratops.
• Fossils have been discovered in Utah.
• This dino only ate plants.

Kosmoceratops had an elephant-sized head. It was decorated with 15 horns and horn-like structures of various sizes. It even had a large pair of horns above its eyes (something like a bull).

Kosmoceratops also had a downward-curving, weirdly segmented frill, which was twice as wide as it was long.
