Frequently asked
What were those plates on Stegosaurus's back used for?
Scientists believe the large bony plates served multiple purposes: regulating body temperature, displaying to attract mates or intimidate rivals, and possibly defending against predators. The plates contained blood vessels, suggesting they could change color for communication. They likely made Stegosaurus appear larger and more impressive.
How big was a Stegosaurus?
Stegosaurus was one of the largest herbivorous dinosaurs, reaching up to 30 feet long and weighing around 9,000 pounds, comparable to a modern elephant. Despite its massive size, its brain was quite small, roughly the size of a walnut. This combination of enormous body and tiny brain has long fascinated paleontologists.
What did Stegosaurus eat?
Stegosaurus was a herbivore that ate plants, ferns, and low-growing vegetation. Its small, blunt teeth were designed for stripping leaves rather than chewing, so it likely swallowed food whole. Scientists estimate it needed to eat massive amounts daily to fuel its enormous body.
