The most likely predator of Triceratops was T-rex. There are bones of Triceratops that have been found with T-rex tooth marks on them, but those may have been made by a T-rex that was simply scavenging on the Triceratops. The only other possible predator of Triceratops could have been large packs of maniraptoran dinosaurs.

∙ 11y agoThe only predator of adult Triceratops was Tyrannosaurus rex. Fossil evidence proves that sometimes Tyrannosaurus hunted Triceratops. An example is the partially healed Tyrannosaurus bite marks on the horn of a Triceratops that evidently survived the battle. If they took the risk to hunt Triceratops, though, Tyrannosaurus must have won the battle a good portion of the time, though.
