Protoceratops andrewsi
Protoceratops was a prehistoric dinosaur known for its distinctive features. Scientists study its bones to learn about how dinosaurs lived.
Hábitat: Mesozoic forests and floodplains
The Protoceratops has a sturdy, medium-sized body with a large, bony neck frill and a parrot-like beak. It lacked prominent facial horns, setting it apart from later ceratopsians. Its skin might have been patterned in earthy browns and greens for camouflage.
