What is the effect of stegosaurus?
Stegosaurus was a large herbivore that probably ate mosses, ferns, horsetails, cycads, and conifers that grew within three feet of the forest floor. Like other large herbivores, the role of Stegosaurus in its ecosystem was to prevent plant overgrowth. They also helped to recycle nutrients via their urea and feces. Last but not least, they provided food for animals farther up the food chain, such as Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, and Ceratosaurus.
What was the diet of a stegosaurus?
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.
Was Stegosaurus a carnivore Herbivore or Omnivore?
Stegosaurus was an herbivore, or plant eater. 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.
Paralititans ate ferns and other vegetation around the rivers they settled around.
