Protoceratops
by Kaitlin

Protoceratops means "first horned face." Protoceratops walked on four short legs, a large head, a big tail and had a mouth shaped like a beak. The beak looked like a parrot's beak. It had a small frill on its head. The male's frill was bigger than the female. They laid their eggs in a nest. Protoceratops ate plants. Protoceratops was six feet long and weighed 900 pounds. The babies were 12 inches long. Skeletons of Protoceratops were found in Mongolia, in Asia.
