Organizing and summarizing search results for youThe Triceratops had a beak-like mouth that was adapted for cropping vegetation. Its beak was formed by a special rostral bone at the front of the mouth, which may have been used to clip tough plant matter. The beak structure was similar to that of modern birds, featuring indentations made by blood vessels, indicating a keratinous covering. Additionally, the Triceratops had a parrot-like beak, which allowed it to efficiently consume large amounts of vegetation daily.
