1. Why does a triceratops always try to face a predator?

Triceratops's greatest weapon was its pair of three foot long brow horns. By facing the predator, the Triceratops ensured that the enemy wouldn't try to lunge at it. If the predator did lunge, the Triceratops could impale it on its horns. By facing the predator at all times, it could protect itself and wait for an opportunity to make an offensive move and drive off the Tyrannosaurus. In fact, one fossil specimen of Triceratops shows a partially healed Tyrannosaurus bite mark on one of the horns, proving that this strategy got the Triceratops through the ordeal.
