What was the diet of a stegosaurus?

Answer 1

That depends on the type of dinosaur. Most dinosaurs were herbivores, and ate whatever plants existed at their time and location, including conifers, cycads, ferns, seed ferns, horsetails, and more.

Small, carnivorous dinosaurs ate insects and small vertebrates. Larger ones ate small animals, and big carnivores ate large herbivorous dinosaurs, with the exception of Spinosaurus, which ate fish.

Answer 2

Stegosaurus was an herbivore, or plant eater. They probably ate mosses, ferns, horsetails, cycads and conifers. They could only reach plants that were within about 3 feet of the ground, unless they were capable of rearing on their hind legs. A study of the bite force and teeth of Stegosaurus suggests that they couldn't bite through sticks that were more than 1.2 centimeters thick, so they would have needed to eat very tender vegetation.
