Triceratops would have eaten low lying shrubs and what else was within reach. Grass did not exist in the Cretaceous period so Triceratops did not graze like a cow but was more like a rhinoceros in its eating habits.
Troodon had the largest brain to total body mass ratio of any non avian dinosaur. Because paleontologists determine the intelligence of prehistoric animals based on the brain to body mass ratio, Troodon are considered the smartest known dinosaurs. They are estimated to have a similar amount of intelligence to modern birds.
no one known for sure, but some ideas are:triceratops' horns were used for defense; with the horns, triceratops can recognize others of its kind;the horns made triceratops look bigger
NOTE:it's spelled "triceratops" not "tricreatop"
Were did the triceratops live?
Triceratops fossils have been found in the US states of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and South Dakota and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and date to between 68 and 65.5 million years ago. At that time the area was a subtropical, coastal floodplain at the edge of the Rockies with various river deltas. It was forested with plants such as conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, horsetails, and early angiosperms such as primitive grasses and palm trees. There were occasional peat swamps there, too. The region had distinct wet and dry seasons, and sometimes suffered from drought. Since the time when Triceratops lived, the Rocky Mountains have been pushed up further, which is why we find their fossils in the mountains even though they lived in lowland areas.
The same way that reptiles do today - they laid eggs. We do not know (and probably will never know) whether dinosaurs cared for their young, like birds, or just left the eggs to hatch and took no further interest in them.

When was the first triceratops fossil discovered?
In 1887, a skull roof with two horns belonging to Triceratops was found in Denver, Colorado. Paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh originally misidentified as a prehistoric bison. In 1888, John Bell Hatcher found a much more complete skull of Triceratops in Wyoming, and then Marsh realized his mistake. Both of these specimens were assigned to the new genus Triceratops.

Where have triceratops fossils been found?
You can find them in Cambrian to Devonian period marine sedimentary rocks such as limestone and shale. Trilobites are found in many countries and in most states of the USA.
It's an "ornithiscian," or "bird-hipped" dinosaur. All ornithiscians have a special bone, called a predentary bone, in front of their teeth and no other animal has this feature (it's called a "unique homology" in the science of cladistics).
What habitat did the triceratops live in?
There are different branches of triceratops, such as triceratops horridus etc, each living in different locations and habitats. Some would live in grasslands, some would live in forests, some live in river banks and some live high altitude places. Their relative, the pentaceratops, have been found in alaska, where it was snowing and freezing all the time.
