    Sometimes I cannot help but wonder why there are so many different species of ceratopsians (I think that’s the right term,) but then I remember that these guys existed for millions upon millions of years and probably didn’t even exist all at the same time.

    It’s crazy how much life on earth existed and how we will never know anything about 99.99% of it.
