Summary
| Description |
English: Stegosaurus stenops is an armored ornithischian dinosaur from the Late Jurassic of what is now North America. It was a large heavily built quadruped, characterized by distinctive kite-shaped plates running down the length of its back. The tail had four large spikes extending from the tip, which are thought to have been used as defense against predators. The large plates may have been used for display, and possibly thermoregulation as well. Stegosaurus had small head relative to its body size, and most likely fed on bushes and shrubs. It could reach up to 7.5 m in length, and weighed around 5 t. |
