Triceratops V1 (SciiFii)

Triceratops darwinius (name meaning "Charles Darwin's three-horned face") is a species of large, spiky, omnivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that originally lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago (mya) in what is now North America, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. Triceratops darwinius was originally going to be in the Cretaceous Safari in Cretaceous Park, but after tests of Triceratops living alongside herbivorous dinosaurs before the park opened few months later, the Triceratops attacked the herbivores and killed some for food, so the Triceratops darwinius were relocated to their own exhibit, Triceratops: The Entelodonts of the Cretaceous (still in Cretaceous Park), due to their aggression and ecological niches similar to pigs, peccaries, and entelodonts (unlike in (possibly) outdated depictions of Triceratops being pure herbivores). Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on the skull, and its large four-legged body possessing similarities with the native modern rhinoceros, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all prehistoric non-avian dinosaurs and the best known ceratopsid. It is also one of the largest, up to nine metres long and twelve tonnes in weight. The frills are primarily used in species identification, courtship and dominance display, much like the antlers and horns of native modern species. The eggs are laid around 4-5 months after mating seasons, the eggs then hatch around 3 months after that, and the young are cared for by their parents for 11 months until they are almost fully-grown when they must fend for themselves.
