Stegosaurus

I did some looking and I did not find any relatives of Stegosaurus with plates but no tail spikes. The tail spikes, or thagomizers, were used as weapons for self defense against predators.

The first Stegosaurus fossil was found in Colorado, USA, in 1876 by M. P. Felch.

really wide... like you can imagine yourself riding inside a bus... and your ride is the size of its head! but i heard its vegetarian

(Pronouced: krreir-EK) A Saza equine creature slightly bigger than a normal horse. It has a tail similar to the Stegosaurus, only fluffier and shorter spikes.

An adult Stegosaurus weighed, on average, 6,000 pounds, which is 3 tons, or 2722 kg.

Like other land vertebrates, Stegosaurus would have inhaled and exhaled through its nostrils and sometimes its mouth.

Stegasaurus got by with the littlest brain mass per body weight. Was surprising it could feed itself.

Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus, which was a saurischian, or lizard hipped dinosaur. The theropods, the other group of lizard hipped dinosaurs, evolved into birds, which are today the closest living relatives of Apatosaurus. All birds are equally related to Apatosaurus.

ferns and leaves

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.

probably but you can find out on google or yahoo or wikipedia or something if you want to know for sure

Spiders, spider's eggs and the like CANNOT survive in the human body. This is one of those urban legends that plays on our fear of spiders. Spiders do not lay their eggs inside of animals (human or other), and the animals (parasites) that CAN survive in the human body, are especially designed to resist the harsh conditions, viz. stomach acid. The larvae of most parasites are encysted to protect against acids and other unfavorable conditions. In fact some wasps lay eggs onto and sometimes into the spider's abdomen. When the larvae hatches, it will eat the spider. Spiders; however, prefer to lay their eggs in the web. Next time you hear a story of someone who had spiders crawling out of the body, take it, with a grain of salt.

Stegosaurus was about 12 feet tall to the tip of the highest plates. This means their bodies were probably about as tall as an elephant, with the plate adding a couple feet.

The tail of a Stegosaurus wasn't sharp. However, it had two spikes that protruded from each side of the end of the tail. The two foot long spikes were called thagomizers, and with the force of the tail behind them, the thagomizers were capable of even injuring bone. They weren't sharp enough to cut you if you touched them, though.

Stegosaurus was 23 to 30 feet long. Large animals like that don't usually have dwellings, and they don't use caves. Stegosaurus was probably the same. Their habitat was a semi-arid subtropical plain with distinct wet and dry seasons. Near rivers, there were forests of conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, and horsetails. Further from the rivers there were open areas covered in ferns with scattered trees. It is believed that Stegosaurus preferred the drier fern fields.

Yes, Stegosaurus was a prey animal. Baby Stegosaurus would have made an easy meal for almost any carnivorous dinosaur, even small ones like Ornitholestes. However, Stegosaurus lived in herds and the parents would have done their best to protect the youngsters. Adult Stegosaurus had predators too, though. Carnivorous dinosaurs large enough to hunt adult Stegosaurus include Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus, Allosaurus, Epanterias, and Saurophaganax.

Stegosaurus had a tail. It also had lots of sharp spikes on it.

Stegosaurus had four spikes on its tail called thagomizers. Each thagomizer was two feet long, and two protruded from each side of the end of the tail. If attacked, Stegosaurus could quickly pivot on its hind legs in an effort to keep its tail end toward the predator. With one powerful swing of the tail, it could stab the enemy with one or even two of its thagomizers, leaving an agonizing and, in some cases, potentially fatal wound. However, even their thagomizers didn't make them invincible, and Stegosaurus were sometimes killed by predators.

Stegosaurs only had one small brain. The expansion of the spinal column in the pelvis gave rise to the incorrect idea that dinosaurs had two brains.

Velociraptor had three claws on each hand. They also had three claws on each foot, and a tiny claw at the end of the dewclaw. Including the dewclaws, Velociraptor had 14 claws.

Yes, Stegosaurus was an herbivorous dinosaur. They probably ate mosses, ferns, horsetails, cycads and conifers. 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.

There were four different species of Stegosaurus. The largest was Stegosaurus armatus, which grew to be 30 feet long, or 9 meters. Stegosaurus longispinus and Stegosaurus stenops were both smaller, growing to be about 23 feet long, or 7 meters.

Stegosaurus was a peaceful herbivore, so it wouldn't seek to attack anything. However, it was well equipped to defend itself. Stegosaurus had four spikes on its tail called thagomizers. Each thagomizer was two feet long, and two protruded from each side of the end of the tail. If attacked, Stegosaurus could quickly pivot on its hind legs in an effort to keep its tail end toward the predator. With one powerful swing of the tail, it could stab the enemy with one or even two of its thagomizers, leaving an agonizing and, in some cases, potentially fatal wound. However, even their thagomizers didn't make them invincible, and Stegosaurus were sometimes killed by predators.
