Styracosaurus
Click here for more Styracosaurus Pictures
Styracosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in the
late Cretaceous period,
about 76 to 70 million years ago.
It was about 18 feet (5.5 meters) long and weighed around 3 tons.
The name Styracosaurus was chosen by Lawrence Lambe in
1913,
and means "spiked lizard". This name was of course chosen in
reference to the animal's most distinctive features: the horns around its
neck frill, the smaller horns on its cheeks, and the large horn on its snout.
Although it usually believed that Styracosaurus became extinct many
millions of years ago, some cryptozoologists (people who search for
rumored or mythical animals whose existence is uncertain) have suggested
that an animal claimed to be living in Cameroon, which
is known as "Ngoubou", might
be a surviving ("relict") Styracosaurus.
As yet however, there is no definitive proof of the existence of
this animal.
