New Hypothesis: Triceratops Prehistoric Crocodile
media and Internet sites related to the theme, echoed the news that is surprising everyone in the world of paleontology, both professionals and amateurs. According to two scientists from Canada, John Scannella and Jack Horner, the Triceratops never existed as a species, but a young stage of another dinosaur of the same family, the Torosaurus .

The Torosaurus and Triceratops have many common features, both are ceratopsids have horns on their faces and a crest that cover their neck, but the crest of Triceratops is solid and is finished by many little horns, while the Torosaurus is smooth and hollow through the center, covered only cartilage. Furthermore, while the horns of Triceratops are inclined upward, the Torosaurus they are down and the horn of his nose is smaller than that of our beloved Triceratops.
These scientists argue that only found skeletons of Triceratops young, up about 2 years old, while the only Torosaurus no skeletons adults over 2 years, which could mean the Triceratops is only a young Torosaurus , which suffer changes in its crest and horns as was growing.
Personally, I think that too many changes that should occur on the face of Triceratops to end up being a Torosaurus , and as we have no scientific evidence to the contrary, this theory must be present until proven otherwise. Let us hope that, over time, is a Triceratops skeleton adult or a young Torosaurus and obsolete the news.
