If there one thing iv noticed about triceratops in alot of past documentaries and in artwork as well mostly from the past is that they make triceratops so small and undersized compared to t rex ,that its just not believable anymore...
An example would be some older documentaries that i forget and some german documentary that depict triceratops looking fat and short barley bigger than a cow compared to t rex not even reaching t rex knees and yet t rex just knocks it over and its dead? That particular scene really is so unrealistic ,for a start the smallest triceratops iv seen was still bigger than an ox with the largest being nearly elephant sized...Its known and has been since at least the early 2000s triceratops survived t rex attacks and was 1 of them dinosaurs that wouldn't just roll over and die when confronted by t rex . You can get away with that from hadrosaurs or young and weak dinosaurs,but not adult triceratops...
if i recall some top experts said triceratops was t rexes most dangerous enemy and it sure wouldn't go down without fighting esp the adults...

I do see your point. Would say the "The truth about Killer Dinosaurs" and "Prehistoric Park" do a better representation of the animal and it's relationship with Rex.

Whilst it is true about Triceratops, that is also true of Hadrosaurs. We have evidence of Edmontosaurus surviving nasty bite marks from Tyrannosaurus. Tyrannosaurus had no easy meals, unless it scavenged, and even then it could be in danger from another Tyrannosaurus.
Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Archaeopteryx, Cetiosaurus, Compsognathus, Hadrosaurus, Brontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Albertosaurus, Herrerasaurus, Stenonychosaurus, Deinonychus, Maiasaura, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, Argentinosaurus, Sinosauropteryx, Microraptor, Citipati, Mei, Tianyulong, Kulindadromeus, Zhenyuanlong, Yutyrannus, Borealopelta, Caihong
