Triceratops coloring pages for small children

 Welcome to my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawings are for younger children to color. 

Both drawings are of Triceratops. 



Triceratops Calf feeding on Ferns


These two drawings are of the Ceratopsian dinosaur called Triceratops.  
Triceratops weighed up to 26,000 lbs or 13 tons.  It may have been 
able to run up to 20 mph.  It was around 30 feet long and had 
long eyebrow horns that were up to 3.77 feet or 1.15 meters long. 
Triceratops had a ball joint where its neck connected with its head.
This means that an adult Triceratops could swing its head that 
was bearing double swords nearly 4 feet long. 
THIS drawing is for smaller children to draw and it is of a Triceratops calf 
that is feeding on ferns.  We now know that there was also grass by the time Triceratops lived. 
It lived on the Earth for a long time for a single species.  
It lived 83.5 to 66 million years ago.  That is 17.5 million years that Triceratops lived 
on Earth.  The average length of the presence of a species is 3 million years. 
So, Triceratops was very, very, very successful.
THIS drawing is a cartoon drawing for young children to color.




Triceratops and Pteranodon near a Volcano

Pteranodon was a rather larger and very successful Pterosaur or flying reptile of the Mesozoic Era.  

Pteranodon had a wingspan of 18 feet or 5.5 meters.  Triceratops was 30 feet long  This is a cartoon 

drawing of a fairly young Triceratops.  It is for young children to color. 


NOTE:  These drawings are found by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology" and then scrolling down to the bottom of the list of drawings.  Below are a few other Triceratops drawings for younger children to color.  The below drawings are from previous posts so their printable versions are found further up the list or list of titles of paleontology drawings.
