Is there still a living Triceratops in the world today?
The reporter of the online rumor dispelling reporting platform asked for verification, and the news spread on the Internet was untrue.
In 2017, Ouyang Hui, a dinosaur research expert and director of the Chongqing Museum of Natural History, said in an interview with the media that Triceratops was a four-legged dinosaur with an adult body length of 7-9 meters and a weight of up to 12 tons, more than the weight of today's largest land animal, the African elephant, which appeared about 70 million years ago and became extinct 66 million years ago.
It can be seen that Triceratops was extinct 66 million years ago and could not live.
Where is this video, and what happened to the vivid Triceratops?
In fact, this video is a video posted on the web by mojosemi dinosaurus park on December 13. Mojosemi dinosaurus park is a dinosaur theme park in the Mojosemi forest park, a tourist attraction in Indonesia.
