Styracosaurus albertensis, meaning "Albertan Spike Lizard", was a genus of centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur native to North America during the late Cretaceous about 75 million years ago. It was small for a ceratopsid, measuring only 18ft long, standing 5 feet and 9 inches tall at the shoulder, and weighing 3 tons. It's frill was decorating by 6 long horns of varying lengths as well as a 2ft long, 6 inch wide nose horn. These horns likely made up for its small size to help defend against predators. It also had a somewhat shorter tail than its cousins, though no one's quite sure why.

Wasn't this one also shown to exhibit some carnivorous behavior?
