Best Answer

Triceratops was a 6 to 12 tonne herbivore from the maasrichtian period at the end of the cretaceous period 65 million years ago in what is now North America.

It filled the role that modern day wilderbeast or maybe buffalo do in Africa today. Fossil evidence suggest that they were predated by large carnavores such as Tyrannosaurus Rex (although some theories suggest that T-Rex was a scavenger).

Is a triceratops a herbivore or a carnivore?

Triceratops was an herbivore, or plant eater. Triceratops had large batteries of teeth and definitely chewed its food. This suggests that they ate tough vegetation. In addition, Triceratops's head was relatively low to the ground, so any plants that it ate would have to be relatively low growing for it to reach them, unless it used its horns to tip trees over on occasion. They may have eaten conifers, cycads, palms, or ferns.
