About it
A real Triceratops skull from a museum's dinosaur hall, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Triceratops lived about 68 to 66 million years ago, at the very end of the age of dinosaurs. It ate plants, and its three horns and the great bony frill behind its head may have been for defense, for showing off to rivals, or both.
Tap it and the skull turns to look at you, then the other way. Drag to circle it and look at the horns, the beak and the frill's scalloped edge.
