Does a triceratops fly walk run or swim?
Although some dinosaurs were probably able to swim there were no true marine dinosaurs. There were marine reptiles that some colloquially refer to as dinosaurs, but these were actually a separate group called plesiosaurs.
Another group that lived in the age of the dinosaurs were the flying reptiles pterosaurs. These are also incorrectly referred to as dinosaurs by many, but they were themselves a separate but closely related group.
However, fossil evidence shows that birds are descended from small carnivorous dinosaurs and can in fact be classified as modern dinosaurs.

Are rhinos same as triceratop?
Rhinoceros are a modern type of mammal. Even though some people say they look similar, the two animals are completely different. Rhinoceros has hair, even if it is sparse, gives birth to live young, and nurses its young. Triceratops lays eggs. Triceratops has a large frill, and it has horns over the eyes, while Rhinoceros has external ears and its horns are in a row on its snout. Even though they have a few superficial similarities, they could hardly be more different.
