Avaceratops is a genus of small herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaurs, which means they had horns and frills on their heads.

They lived during the late Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, about 80 to 75 million years ago, in what are now the Northwest United States.

Most fossils of Avaceratops come from the Judith River Formation in Montana.

The first remains of Avaceratops were found by Eddie Cole in 1981, on the land of a rancher named Arthur J.Lammers.

The fossil was named after Cole's wife, Ava, and the Lammers family.

It was described by Peter Dodson in 1986, as the type species Avaceratops lammersi.

Avaceratops was about 2.3 meters long and weighed about 200 kilograms.

It had a large horn on its nose and a short frill around its face, but no horns on its brow.

It also had a beak and rows of teeth for slicing plants.

It was probably a social animal that lived in herds and defended itself from predators like tyrannosaurs with its horn and frill.

Avaceratops belongs to the subfamily Centrosaurinae within the family Ceratopsidae.

It is closely related to other centrosaurines like Nasutoceratops, Diabloceratops, and Styracosaurus.

It is one of the earliest and most primitive members of this group, and shows some features that are more similar to the basal ceratopsians like Psittacosaurus and Protoceratops.

Avaceratops is a rare and poorly known dinosaur, as only a few specimens have been found, mostly incomplete skulls and fragments of skeletons.

More discoveries are needed to fully understand its anatomy, behavior, and evolution.

Funny stories about the 'Avaceratops'

The Treat-Tossing Riddle: Remi’s Day Out

Far-far away, in the lush, sun-drenched expanse of the Arid Plains Wildlife Reserve, a small but profound adventure was unfolding. The day was bright, the sky a perfect canvas of blue, and among the trees and vibrant flora, an intriguing riddle was about to be solved by an unlikely pair: Sage, a wise and kind-hearted wildlife biologist, and Remi, a playful Avaceratops with a gleam of mischief in her eye.

Sage had been working with Remi for several months, observing and documenting her behavior. Remi was a quick and curious creature, with a delightful pattern of horned frills and a swift, nimble demeanor that made her both endearing and endlessly fascinating. Today, Sage had a special treat for her: a treat-dispensing ball. This was no ordinary toy; it was a puzzle designed to challenge Remi's problem-solving skills and reward her with tasty morsels.

As Sage carefully placed the ball in Remi's enclosure, she could hardly contain her excitement. "This," Sage announced with a twinkle in her eye, "is your new challenge, Remi. Let's see if you can unravel the mystery of the treat-dispensing ball!"

Remi approached the ball with a mixture of curiosity and caution. The ball was vibrant and colorful, with various textured surfaces and a few small compartments, each holding a delightful treat. Sage watched with bated breath as Remi inspected the ball, her tiny claws tapping and her nostrils flaring with curiosity.

At first, Remi seemed puzzled. She nudged the ball with her snout, rolled it around, and even tried to bite it. The ball wobbled and jiggled but remained resolutely closed. Sage admired Remi's determination and patience. "That's right, Remi. You're getting closer," Sage encouraged.

After several attempts and with a thoughtful tilt of her head, Remi began to experiment with different tactics. She used her horn to gently tap the ball, then rolled it against a log to see if gravity might help. The ball made a satisfying clunk, and a small treat fell out. Remi's eyes lit up with realization. A treat had been earned!

Sage clapped her hands in delight. "You're doing it, Remi!"

Encouraged by her success, Remi's approach grew more methodical. She seemed to understand the ball's secrets, as if she had unlocked a new level of understanding. Each time a treat emerged, her excitement grew, and her strategy became more refined. She learned to tilt and shake the ball with just the right amount of force.

By the time the last treat had fallen from the ball, Remi had not only enjoyed a feast but also demonstrated a remarkable blend of intelligence and perseverance. She gave Sage a triumphant look, as if to say, "I did it!"

Sage knelt down beside her, gently patting her. "You were amazing today, Remi. Not just because you solved the puzzle, but because you showed such patience and cleverness."

Remi, with a satisfied sigh and a full belly, nuzzled Sage in appreciation. The treat-dispensing ball had been a test, but more importantly, it was a celebration of the bond they shared. Sage smiled, knowing that their adventures together were far from over.

As the sun began to set and the sky turned shades of pink and orange, Sage and Remi walked side by side, ready for whatever the next adventure might bring. In the gentle glow of twilight, it was clear that the greatest reward wasn't the treats but the joy of discovery and the friendship they had built along the way.
