Leptocératops

Leptoceratops Brown, 1914, were a primitive Dinosaure cératopsien higher Crétacé in Western North America. One found of them craniums in the Alberta, with the Canada and the Wyoming. It could probably be held right and run on its legs of behind. Leptoceratops was approximately 2 meters long and could weigh of 68 up to 200 kg.

Classification

Leptoceratops belongs to Ceratopsia (Greek name which means “horned face”), a group of herbivorous dinosaurs with nozzle of parrot which thrived during the cretaceous in North America and Asia, and which died out approximately 65 million years ago. All the cératopsiens disappeared at the end of this time.

Food mode

Like all the cératopsiens, Leptoceratops was herbivorous. To the Cretaceous, the plants with flowers “were geographically limited in the landscape”, this is why it is probable that this dinosaur nourished plants which prevailed at the time: Fern S, cycadée S and Conifère S. It would have used its pointed nozzle cératopsien to seize the sheets or the needles. ----
