After the Triceratops had his dust bath, he wanders into a nearby forest in search of some plants. Triceratops have very big appetites, and been even observed eating the bark of trees. This what he was about to do; and in a very peculiar way. The Triceratops arches his neck up, pressing his beak on the trunk a tree. He then slowly broke a piece of bark off, in which he chews in his powerful jaws. Each of his teeth are arranged into 5 rows of teeth called 'batteries'. In fact, he might have as much as 800 teeth in his mouth. This allows him to make short work of almost anything, which may include branches, leaves and, of course, bark. After eating the piece, the Triceratops hears some rustling in the distance. He looks up and sees a similar cousin to his species: a female Torosaurus. Although she is slightly lighter than the Triceratops, her frill towers over his, reaching a huge height of about 2.77 metres. Luckily for him, she only took a nearby leaf of a fern and walked out of the forest. The Triceratops continues to break some bark off of the tree for a couple of minutes while chewing on the fallen pieces, happily enjoying his meal.
