Paleontologists once believed there were several species of Triceratops, judging from the large number of [[fossil]] remains, but it is now thought that there were just two, ''T. horridus'' and the larger ''T. prorsus''. In the evolutionary paradigm, they would have been among the last of the dinosaurs, living in the late [[Cretaceous]] period. Fossils of Triceratops have so far been found only in North America.<ref>''The Complete Book of Dinosaurs'', by Dougal Dixon, Anness Publishing, 2006</ref>

Creationists hold that Triceratops, and other [[dinosaurs]] are the [[behemoths]] of [[Job]] and were created during the sixth day of [[creation week]]. Triceratops went extinct either during the [[Great Flood]] or did not survive the post-flood world.
