Protoceratops hellenikorhinus Information:

Protoceratops was a genus of small, herbivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 to 71 million years ago. They belonged to the Ceratopsidae family, which includes other well-known dinosaurs like Triceratops.

Here are some key features and characteristics of the Protoceratops genus:

Size: Protoceratops were relatively small dinosaurs, measuring around 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters) in length and standing about 3 feet (1 meter) tall at the shoulder.

Beak and Frill: Like other ceratopsians, Protoceratops had a beak-like mouth and a frill at the back of their head. The frill likely served various functions, such as defense, display, or regulating body temperature.

Horns: Protoceratops typically had a pair of small horns on their frill, but these were not as prominent as the larger ceratopsians like Triceratops.

Habitat: These dinosaurs lived in what is now Mongolia and other parts of Central Asia. They inhabited a diverse range of environments, from deserts to forested regions.

Behavior: Not much is known about their behavior, but like other ceratopsians, they were likely herbivorous, feeding on plants and vegetation.

Nesting and Fossil Discoveries: Protoceratops is notable for several discoveries of dinosaur eggs and nests attributed to this genus, providing valuable insights into their nesting behavior.
