It depended on what was happening to the stegosaurus. If it was in any danger it would try to use it's spikes on the top of it's body for protection, but in any other way it was completely harmless. The stegosaurus is a herbavore, or a plant eater. It only ate plants and nothing else.
We know very little about Stegosaurus behavior. What we do know is that they were herbivores, and that they lived in multi-aged herds with juveniles and adults. This suggests that Stegosaurus raised their offspring.
There are four currently accepted species in the genus Stegosaurus. They are Stegosaurus armatus, Stegosaurus stenops, Stegosaurus sulcatus, and Stegosaurus longispinus.
Stegosaurus was a very large herbivore. Thus, it probably spent most of the day and night eating, like elephants do today.
The remains of about 80 different Stegosaurus have been discovered. They belong to four different species, Stegosaurus armatus, Stegosaurus stenops, Stegosaurus sulcatus, and Stegosaurus longispinus.
Stegosaurus had a brain that weighed about 2.8 oz, the same as a dog's brain. That is very small considering that the Stegosaurus was 30 feet long and weighed 5.5 tons. People often say that its brain was the size of a walnut or a pea, but that exaggerates its small size.
Stegosaurus had a brain that weighed about 2.8 oz, the same as a dog's brain. An apple weighs almost twice that much. That is very small considering the fact that the Stegosaurus was 30 feet long and weighed 5.5 tons.

Stegosaurus? Stegosaurus?
There were four different species of Stegosaurus. The largest was Stegosaurus armatus, which grew to be 30 feet long. Stegosaurus longispinus and Stegosaurus stenops both grew to be about 23 feet long.

It was no more muddy or gross when Stegosaurus lived than it is today. In fact, Stegosaurus lived in a semi-arid plain with distinct wet and dry seasons. Except during the rainy season, there probably wasn't very much mud where Stegosaurus lived. However, there probably was a fair amount of dinosaur dung.
The Stegosaurus had very large, pointy spikes at the end of its tail. These spikes could have been used for defence against predators, like Allosaurus or Ceratosaurus. Its spikes were made of bone.
