Frequently asked
What was Stegosaurus used those plates on its back for?
The plates along a Stegosaurus's back likely served multiple purposes. Scientists believe they may have helped with temperature regulation, like solar panels absorbing heat. The plates may also have been used for display to attract mates or intimidate rivals, and possibly as a defense mechanism when the dinosaur turned sideways to threats.
How big was a Stegosaurus and how much did it weigh?
Stegosaurus was a large dinosaur, measuring about 26 to 30 feet long (roughly the length of a school bus) and standing 9 feet tall at the hips. These herbivores weighed around 9,000 pounds, similar to modern elephants. Despite their size, their brains were only walnut-sized, making them one of the least intelligent dinosaurs.
What did Stegosaurus eat and where did it live?
Stegosaurus was a herbivore that ate low-growing plants, ferns, and shrubs, using its small peg-shaped teeth to strip vegetation rather than chew. It lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago, in what is now the western United States, Portugal, and possibly China. Fossil evidence shows these dinosaurs lived in semi-arid floodplain environments.
