Description: Leptoceratops was a small, plant-eating ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, around 70-65 million years ago. It had a small, triangular frill on the back of its skull, and a relatively short, narrow snout compared to other ceratopsians. Its most distinctive feature was a pair of long, thin horn-like structures on its forehead, which may have been used for display or defense. Leptoceratops was likely a fast-moving, agile dinosaur that lived in herds, and it may have used its horns to defend against predators. It was about 6-8 feet (2-2.5 meters) long and weighed around 100-200 pounds (45-90 kg).
