A Spiked Kentrosaurus Ascending a Mountain Slope

A Kentrosaurus featuring sharp spikes along its back and tail ascends a gentle incline. Behind the climbing dinosaur, distant mountain peaks reach toward soft clouds drifting in the background sky.

The Distinctive Spikes of Kentrosaurus

Kentrosaurus was a smaller relative of Stegosaurus that lived in Late Jurassic East Africa. Unlike its famous relative, Kentrosaurus had flat plates along its neck and front shoulders that quickly transitioned into long, sharp pairs of defensive spikes extending all the way down its back, hips, and powerful tail.
