Its name refers to the state of Coahuila in Mexico, where it was found in the early 2000s.
Lived during the Late Cretaceous.
Had the largest horns of any ceratopsid and maybe any dinosaurs known. Up to 3.9 ft (1.2 m) long! 😍
Was the size of a rhino and weighed 5 tons 🦏
Had a 5.9 ft (1.8 m) long skull 💀
Only one specimen has been found.
Coahuilaceratops had a rounded nose horn, not seen before in another ceratopsid.
Used its horns to attract mates and fight with other dinosaurs from the same species.
As one of the largest herbivores in its ecosystem, It probably shouldn't worry a lot about predators.
