Plated Lizard (actually, stegosaurus is a grouping of the greek word stegos, which translates as "roof" or "covered," and saurus, meaning, of course, lizard.) http:/dictionary.reference.com/browse/stegosaurus
Answer2: The stegosaurs were a group of the ornithischians that had large bony blades mounted in a pattern down their back. They walked on all four legs and were about 20 feet [6 m] long, and 8 feet [2.4 m] high at the hips. More recently, it has been thought that the bony back plates served not just as a protection but as part of a cooling system for their body. Hind legs were heavy and elephantine, while front legs were of smaller size, causing the small head to be low to the ground. The tail had long, bony spikes radiating from the end.
When Othniel Charles Marsh discovered Stegosaurus in 1877, he believed that the plates laid on Stegosaurus's sides like the shingles on a roof. That is why he called it Stegosaurus, meaning "roof lizard" in Greek. Now we know that the plates stood up vertically.
The name Stegosaurus means "roof lizard." The paleontologists called it that because they thought its plates laid flat on its back. If that were the case, the plates would have look slightly like shingles.
Stegosaurus means "roofed lizard." This is because scientists originally thought that the plates laid flat on the back, and thus looked like the shingles of a roof.
The name stegosaurus means "covered" or "roof lizard". Stegos is from the Greek for roof and saurus means lizard.
never mind i figued it outt :)

Some dinosaurs that start with s are Supersaurus, Spinosaurus, and Stegosaurus.
The stegosaurus is Extinct with all the rest of the dinosaurs.
The closest living relatives of Stegosaurus are the birds. Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs, which, being dinosaurs, were somewhat related to Stegosaurus. All birds are equally related to Stegosaurus.

stegosaurus and ankylosaurus...
one of the relatives of the stegosaurus is the anxylosaurus
Stegosaurus was a dinosaur, and paleontologists continue to find more evidence that dinosaurs were warm blooded. Thus, Stegosaurus was probably warm blooded.
Like most dinosaurs and some modern lizards, the female may have been larger.
Stegosaurus was a stegosaurid dinosaur. Stegosaurs belong to the clade Thyreophora, which in turn belongs to the order Ornithischia, or bird hipped dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are archosaurian reptiles, and reptiles are a class of vertebrate animals.
Stegosaurus was a dinosaur, which would put it in the class reptilia. Some, however, have proposed moving dinosaurs to their own class.
