What does a stegosaurus dinosaur look like?

Answer 1

About 29 ft 6 in (9 m) long, it had short forelegs, four long bony spikes on a flexible tail, and two rows of upright triangular bony plates running along the back, which gave it a serrated profile.

Answer 2

Stegosaurus was an herbivore that 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. They were 23 to 30 feet long, depending on the species, and the largest ones weighed 5.5 tons.

Answer 3

Stegosaurus was probably one of the most bizarre vertebrates ever to roam the planet. It measured 30 feet in length, stood 10 feet high at the hip, (14 feet high if you count the plates) and weighed in excess of 5 short tons. It had rather short front legs compared to its massively thick back legs, putting the center of gravity towards the front of the body and keeping the head not much higher than four feet off the ground. 17 kite- shaped plates lined the back and most of the tail in a double row, some reaching four to five feet high. Towards the tip of the tail, two yard- long spikes of sheer bone protruded from each side. Dubbed a thagomizer, this would have easily acted as a devastating weapon to any predator who attacked it. However fearsome it may seem, it was most likely a gentle herbivore, with a three-foot-long head, a brain the size of a walnut, and spoon-like teeth deseigned for browsing on the low vegitation of the era. Seeing a dinosaur like this roam North America some 150 million years ago must have been a sight to behold.

Answer 4

No fossils have ever been found of baby Stegosaurus. They were raised by their parents, so they probably had the traits that we associate with cuteness, as cuteness is an adaptation for young animals that are raised by their parents. These include a large head and large eyes. They may have also been born with small, underdeveloped legs, as many hadrosaurus were. I would guess that their plates were smaller in proportion to their bodies, otherwise it may have been difficult for them to fit in their eggs before they hatched.

Answer 5

low, grassy, dry or wet, low shrub, and surrounded by other stegosaurus

Answer 6

It looks like a stegosaurus without skin and muscle

Answer 7

big dinosaur, long body, big legs, and had large fin-like plates along it back
