Kentrosaurus Weathering a Gentle Shower

Kentrosaurus was a smaller relative of Stegosaurus, recognized by pairs of bony plates along its back and sharp spikes extending down its tail. Rainfall brought fresh moisture to the lush tropical habitats where these armored plant eaters lived.

Spikes and Rain in Ancient Ecosystems

Unlike its larger relatives, Kentrosaurus had long spikes along its lower back and hips that pointed outward to deter attackers. Frequent rain clouds nurtured dense fern thickets and riverside vegetation that formed the main diet of this species. Water droplets sliding off their tough skin helped keep them cool during humid weather.

True Colors of Kentrosaurus

  • Back plates and tail spikes: dark charcoal gray or bone white
  • Tough skin: dull olive brown or grayish green
  • Rain cloud: soft ash gray
  • Raindrops: pale icy blue
