Triceratops dinosaur and rhino
Triceratops dinosaur and rhino. Artwork of an adult Triceratops (left) from 68 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum, right). The Triceratops is around 3 metres tall at the shoulder and weighs around 11, 000 kilograms, while the White Rhinoceros is around 1.8 metres tall at the shoulder and weighs around 3200 kilograms. Triceratops is an example of a horned, beaked cerapod (ceratopsian) and was herbivorous and had a neck frill. For an image comparing this dinosaur and the rhino to other cerapods, see C009/1359

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast between a Triceratops dinosaur and a modern White Rhinoceros. The artwork depicts an adult Triceratops, which roamed the Earth approximately 68 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, standing side by side with an adult White Rhinoceros. The sheer size difference is awe-inspiring; while the Triceratops towers at around 3 meters tall and weighs a staggering 11,000 kilograms, the White Rhinoceros stands at about 1.8 meters tall and weighs around 3200 kilograms. The image not only highlights their contrasting sizes but also emphasizes their evolutionary differences. The Triceratops belongs to the horned, beaked cerapod family (ceratopsian), boasting its iconic three horns and neck frill. This herbivorous giant was part of Earth's prehistoric era when dinosaurs ruled supreme. In comparison, we have the modern-day marvel that is the White Rhinoceros – a magnificent mammal representing our current natural history. This illustration beautifully captures both animals against a white background, allowing viewers to appreciate their distinct features in detail. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing duo captured in art form, it serves as a reminder of our planet's rich biological history and evolution over millions of years. It sparks curiosity about these incredible creatures that once roamed our world while showcasing how life has adapted and changed throughout time.
