The Torosaurus, being from the ceratopians group, has a lot in common with the others in the same group. Torosaurus had horns, Beak, and a herbivore. It was first discovered by a man named John B. Hatcher in 1891. Since then, there has been several partial skull fragments found in the area of Alberta, but many more discovered as far as Mexico. On interesting fact about the skull is that it measures 2.6 meters (the largest male). This would make it have the biggest skull of any land animal that ever existed today and in the past.
The Torosaurus is thought to have lived live common African Buffalo, being social dinosaurs and traveling in large herds.
