Despite weighing as much as three elephants, Stegosaurus had a brain smaller than a walnut, making it one of the dumbest dinosaurs ever.
The plates on Stegosaurus's back were not connected to its spine but rather embedded in the skin, so scientists aren't entirely sure how they worked.

About Stegosaurus Simple
What were those plates on the Stegosaurus's back used for?
The 17 bony plates along the Stegosaurus's spine served multiple purposes. Scientists believe they helped with temperature control by absorbing and releasing heat. They may have also been used for display, making the dinosaur look larger and more intimidating to potential threats or rivals.
How big was a Stegosaurus?
Stegosaurus was massive for a herbivore, reaching about 26 feet long and weighing up to 9,000 pounds. That's roughly the size of a school bus. Despite their impressive size, their brain was only about the size of a golf ball, making them one of the least intelligent dinosaurs.
What did Stegosaurus eat?
Stegosaurus was a strict herbivore that ate plants, ferns, and low-growing shrubs. Its teeth were small and peg-shaped, perfect for stripping leaves from branches rather than chewing. Scientists believe it ate over 200 pounds of plants daily to fuel its massive body.
How did Stegosaurus defend itself?
The Stegosaurus had a deadly secret weapon: four sharp spikes on its tail called a thagomizer. Swinging this spiked tail could seriously injure a predator. Combined with its large body and protective plates, the Stegosaurus was a formidable opponent despite being a plant-eater.
When did Stegosaurus live?
Stegosaurus lived during the Late Jurassic period, roughly 150 to 155 million years ago. This was millions of years before the famous T-Rex existed. Other creatures sharing Stegosaurus's era included Brachiosaurus and Allosaurus in a very different prehistoric world.
Why is Stegosaurus so famous today?
Stegosaurus is one of the most iconic dinosaurs because its unique appearance makes it instantly recognizable. The row of plates and spiky tail make it visually distinct from other dinosaurs. It's been featured in countless movies, books, and museums, making it a dinosaur that kids and adults love equally.
