The Torosaurus was discovered 1891 by John Bell Hatcher. This dinosaur's closest relative is Triceratops. In fact, scientists think that the Triceratops might just be a younger Torosaurus. Which would explain why Triceratops is so rare. So eventually their might not be a Triceratops. Torosaurus lived about 68 million to 66 million years ago. Torosaurus was named by Othneil Charles Marsh. It was discovered at Saskatchewan, Canada. Torosaurus was a genus of Ceratopsian, or Horned Lizards. It was a good source of prey for the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Oh, what a interesting looking one. That hood looks like it weighs heavy on its neck. Hard to imagine this big guy was Tyrannasaurus Rex’s snack!
