It was a large quadrupedal herbivore that could reach lengths of nearly 6 meters and weigh several tons. Its name means \"five-horned face,\" in reference to the prominent bony structures that adorned its skull: two long horns above the eyes, a smaller nasal horn, and two additional protrusions in the cheek region, formed by jugal bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1225\" data-start=\"668\"\u003eOne of its most distinctive features was its enormous bony frill (cranial frill), one of the largest among ceratopsids in proportion to its body. This structure was bordered by openings (fenestrae) and likely served functions of visual display, recognition among individuals of the same species, or thermal regulation, in addition to serving as a deterrent against predators. Unlike other ceratopsids like \u003cem data-end=\"1130\" data-start=\"1117\"\u003eTriceratops\u003c\/em\u003e, the frill of \u003cem data-end=\"1159\" data-start=\"1144\"\u003ePentaceratops\u003c\/em\u003e was more elongated and slender, giving it a distinctive appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1738\" data-start=\"1227\"\u003eIts skull, which could exceed 2 meters in length, is one of the largest known among terrestrial animals. It possessed a strong horny beak at the front of its mouth, ideal for cutting vegetation, and a battery of teeth at the back adapted for grinding tough plants such as ferns, cycads, and conifers. Its limbs were robust and well-adapted to support its heavy body, allowing it to move steadily across floodplains and semi-arid environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2171\" data-start=\"1740\"\u003eThe \u003cem data-end=\"1770\" data-start=\"1743\"\u003ePentaceratops sternbergii\u003c\/em\u003e coexisted with other dinosaurs such as hadrosaurs and predatory theropods, and its impressive cranial armament suggests that it may also have participated in intraspecific combat, possibly for territory or mates. Its discovery and study have significantly contributed to the knowledge of the diversity and evolution of ceratopsids in North America during the Late Cretaceous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate measurements of Pentaceratops:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1:35 Full Scale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength 175 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight 108 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth 53 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSnout-to-tail length 195 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1:20 Full Scale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength 306 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight 189 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth 93 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSnout-to-tail length 340 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Miniature Museum","offers":[{"title":"1:35 \/ Unprimed","offer_id":54748924182796,"sku":"DC-1364-135-SINI","price":67.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:35 \/ Primed","offer_id":54748924215564,"sku":"DC-1364-135-IMPRI","price":77.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:35 \/ Hand painted","offer_id":54748924248332,"sku":"DC-1364-135-PINTA","price":189.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:20 \/ Unprimed","offer_id":54748924281100,"sku":"DC-1364-120-SINI","price":169.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:20 \/ Primed","offer_id":54748924313868,"sku":"DC-1364-120-IMPRI","price":181.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:20 \/ Hand painted","offer_id":54748924346636,"sku":"DC-1364-120-PINTA","price":342.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/1106\/7660\/files\/Pentaceratops_10.jpg?v=1775324245","url":"https:\/\/dinosauriacreatures.com\/en\/products\/pentaceratops-sternbergii-2","provider":"Dinosauria Creatures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
