About Centrosaurus:
It was probably too dumb to notice the difference, but Centrosaurus was definitely lacking when it came to its defensive armament: this ceratopsian had only a single long horn, compared to three for Triceratops and five for Pentaceratops. Like others of its breed, this herbivore's horn and large frill probably served dual purposes: the frill as a sexual display and (possibly) a way to dissipate heat, and the horn to head-butt other Centrosauruses and intimidate hungry carnivores.
