What are the adaptations of a Stegosaurus?

Answer 1

Stegosaurus's head was low to the ground, an adaptation for reaching the plants it ate. On its back there were 17 large, bony, triangular plates. Although these were an important adaptation, their use is unknown. They may have been used for armor, although they would have been minimally effective since they didn't cover the animal's sides. They could have been used to help cool the Stegosaurus, or they may have been used for display. On its tail, Stegosaurus had four spikes, called thagomizers, each of which was two feet long. The thagomizers were a powerful weapon for defense against predators.

Answer 2

Stegosaurus had long hind limbs and short forelimbs. Its head and neck were very low to the ground, and its head was small, with a beak that it used for cropping off vegetation. They had 17 plates on their back in two rows, one row on either side of the spines. They had four tail spikes, or thagomizers, that they used for self defense.

Answer 3

They had a small head with a beak for cropping soft vegetation. The head hung down low near the ground. The front legs were very short compared to the much larger hind legs. On either side of its spine was a row of large, flat, bony plates that emerged from the skin. On the end of the tail were four bony spikes, called thagomizers, which were used for self defense.

Answer 4

Stegosaurus had long hind limbs and short forelimbs. Its head and neck were very low to the ground, and its head was small, with a beak that it used for cropping off vegetation. They had 17 large, vertical, triangular, bony plates on their back in two rows, one row on either side of the spines. They had four tail spikes, or thagomizers, that they used for self defense.

Answer 5

"are" is the present tense, "were" would apply to the past, and therefore the answer must be that: Modern dinosaurs (birds) have feathers and can fly.
