"Pierced Lizard"

Up to eight feet in length, the skull of the Cretaceous dinosaur Torosaurus is one of the longest known skulls of any land animal, living or extinct.
Like its contemporary Triceratops, Torosaurus had horns above its eyes and nostrils and a bony frill covering its neck region. These horns, comparable to those of modern-day rhinos, may have been used for defense against predators , in competition for mates, and -- along with the imposing frill -- for display to members of their own kind.
