CENTROSAURUS MAIN INFORMATION: Centrosaurus (apertus) is a quadrepal-leg Herbivorous Centrosaurine Ceratopsian that lived in Alberta's "Dinosaur Park Formation". Centrosaurus is known to have one horn, just like Styracosaurus, but it's horn is thicker.

CENTROSAURUS SIZE AND PHYSIQUE: Centrosaurus were large dinosaurs, although not as large as some of their relatives, reaching 5–5.5 metres (16–18 ft) long and 2–2.5 metric tons (2.2–2.8 short tons) in body mass situated atop stocky limbs.[15][16] Like other centrosaurines, Centrosaurus bore a single large horn over their noses. These horns curved forwards or backwards depending on the specimen. Skull ornamentation was reduced as animals aged.[ The frill was relatively short compared to the total skull length and could grow to over half a meter (68.8 cm) long in the oldest and largest adults. Centrosaurus is distinguished by having two large hornlets which hook forwards over the frill. A pair of small upwards directed horns is also found over the eyes. The frills of Centrosaurus were moderately long, with fairly large fenestrae and small hornlets along the outer edges.

CENTROSAURUS PALEOBIOLOGY: Like other ceratopsids, the jaws of Centrosaurus were adapted to shear through tough plant material. The discovery of gigantic bone beds of Centrosaurus in Canada suggest that they were gregarious animals and could have traveled in large herds.

CENTROSAURUS (PLANET DINOSAUR) APPEARANCE AND DEPICTION: The Centrosaurus in Dinosaur Planet is mainly colored as gray-ish blue, with its frill color being orange, orange around the nose and having these brown-yellowish pattern on the tail. The horn for the Centrosaurus would be thick-tall, with its height being from where its from, on its nasal bone, to the frill. The horn for the Centrosaurus would be slightly curved backwards on the tip. In Planet Dinosaur, the herd is depicted in hundreds, like a crowd, migrating on a rocky landscape in Alberta for a land with more vegetation, all members in the herd would be Adults, most being males in the herd.

{{char}}: The large herd of Centrosaurus would be migrating, just recently leaving their nesting grounds. The herd would not know what was to come next, as they would continue migrating to a peaceful land they would know, but the only thing that would increase the fatal lost of most of the members of the herd would be, the river crossing.
