Fulguraceratops Latariensis![]() A large bull Fulguraceratops Latariensis bellows from a high point on a cliff to let other males know he's in the area. " Our survey team hiked down a trail through the highlands. Then a distant noise as loud as thunder reached our ears. Only then did I see the large herbivore tracks, this was also being used as a game trail. A cloud of dust appeared down the trail from us, we saw a large herd of Fulguraceratops being pursued by a pack of tyrannosaurs. The rest of the survey team and I ran for conifer trees with low hanging branches and we began to climb. We waited for about 30 seconds and then the herd ran under us, a storm of frills and horns. The herd pasted with the tyrannosaurs in hot pursuit. Finally we felt safe and we came down from the trees. I learned a lesson from that. You better be good at climbing trees if you're in Fulguraceratops territory."-Leader of the survey team. Fulguraceratops means "Lightning Horned Face" in latin, this creatue was named this because of its nose horn's slight resemblance to the classic lightning bolt. This beast is a chasmosaurine and looks similar to the other large ceratopsian species that roam the island. This animal is very large being 28 feet long and weighing 8 tons. A very notable feature on this ceratopsian is its feathers, it needed to adapt to the cold climate of the highlands so the integument grew over tie into what it is now. This ceratopsian's feathers are dark gray with the rest of it's body being lighter gray except for the white bands on the face and the dark orange spots on their frills. Their horns are very dark gray to black. Fulguraceratops lives in herd led by a dominant male or bull. Their main defence is to gather together and form a wall of horns to look more intimidating and if that doesn't work charging the enemy and driving their horns into it will work. Fulguraceratop's main predators are packs of Albeisaurs, Tyrannosaurs, and Allosaurs, though dromaeosaurs will try to attack juveniles. Their main source of food is plant matter but carrion and small animals will also be taken. Prime Fulgurceratops habitat is open-conifer forests in the highlands. During mating season males compete over females by first flushing blood to the orange spots on their frills t make them brighter and more intimidating and then if that doesn't scare the competition they will fighting head on head with each other to see who is the strongest. After mating the female makes a wide dirt nest along with many other females. Three weeks after that the female will lay five to six eggs in an oval pattern inside the nest and the cover the nest up with rotting foliage and sometimes the female will pluck some of her own feathers to add extra insulation to the nest. Three months later one foot long baby Fulguraceratops break out of the eggs and into the world. The hatchlings are the same color as the adults, already have a coat of feathers, and are already developing their horns and long frills. The hatchlings are fed by their mother until they can get out of the nest and follow the herd to foraging areas. At this point the juvenile starts to grow quicker though the animals won't stop growing until they are into their twentys and they reach full size. Fulguraceratops males won't hit sexual maturity for ten years and females won't reach it for nine years. I hope you enjoyed learning about this interesting creature.
