Triceratops strength

The dinosaur must have heard him, for it wheeled in its run and headed for him. The sailor struggled free and broke into a desperate run, toward the trees that grew at the base of the ridge. Driscoll watched helplessly as the man, looking over his shoulder at the monstrosity thundering toward him, crashed into a low-hanging branch. It knocked him off his feet, and as he tried to pick himself up and swing behind the tree, the charging triceratops smashed into him, bearing him backward. The impact uprooted the tree. The triceratops backed away, and with a wave of nausea Driscoll saw the body of his shipmate impaled on one of the long horns.

Driscoll looked back. The triceratops had apparently trailed them by scent, and now, in its nearsighted fashion, it was blundering about at the edge of the trees. As if impatient or infuriated, the creature thrust its head at one of these and with a jerk ripped the twenty-foot tree right out of the ground. The uprooted trunk fell back and slid off its rough hide. The triceratops tramped in a circle, as if unsure of which way to go.
