Leptoceratops was a small, primitive genus of ceratopsian dinosaur whose name literally means "small-horn face" despite the fact it did not have any horns. It reached lengths of about two meters and appears to have had the characteristics of a bipedal dinosaur, likely being able to stand and run on its back legs. However, even though they weren't able to pronate their "hands", it's likely they could walk on all four legs. As with other ceratopsians it has a parrot-like beak and was probably able to chew very tough vegetation.
