Nasutoceratops (SciiFii)

Nasutoceratops rhinotherium is a species of basal non-avian centrosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that originally lived during the Late Cretaceous Period (late Campanian, about 76.0-75.5 Ma) as an extinct species of Nasutoceratops and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, like many other ceratopsians, have been introduced throughout the modern North American swamps, forests, open woodlands, and grasslands to help boost biodiversity. Nasutoceratops rhinotherium is a large, ground-dwelling, quadrupedal animal with a short snout and unique rounded horns above its eyes that has been likened to those of cattle. Extending almost to the tip of its snout, these horns are the longest of all the members of the centrosaurine subfamily. The presence of pneumatic elements in the nasal bones of Nasutoceratops are a unique trait and are unknown in any other ceratopsid. It is almost exclusively herbivorous and mainly feeds on leaves, pine needles, shrubs, fruits, roots, tubers, bulbs, and wood, although it has been known to scavenge on dead animals to supplement its diet. Like many other ceratopsians, Nasutoceratops rhinotherium is a social animal that usually lives in small family groups of up to about 7 at a time, although reports of Nasutoceratops rhinotherium herds containing more than 15 are not uncommon. The conservation status of Nasutoceratops rhinotherium is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and its wide range across North America.
