Extinct creatures-- Styracosaurus
🕑 Added 2017-05-09 13:24:33 +0000 UTC Styracosaurus was an herbivorous ceratopsian, like Triceratops, though with many more fun accessories on its frill. All the ceratopsians had such interesting heads, they're really fun to draw!Ceratopsians are close relatives of pachycephalosaurs, and they share a fluffy common ancestor (Kulindadromeus, which I thought I'd done a post about but turns out I didn't! Guess I'll have to do that next). This means there's a decent chance that ceratopsians and pachycephalosaurs could have had some sort of fluff, or perhaps quills as some earlier ceratopsians had, though for many of the large ceratopsians it's doubtful. I think we know for sure that Triceratops didn't have quills, for instance. But hey, fun is allowed here, so I put some scattered "hairs" on Styracosaurus.
That's all for this week! Byyye
