Stegosaurus Wandering Through a Prehistoric Rocky Valley
The Stegosaurus inhabited ancient river valleys surrounded by low-growing ferns, lush prehistoric plants, and steep rocky cliffs. These iconic herbivorous dinosaurs spent their days grazing on vegetation in low-lying valley environments where moisture supported dense plant life. Steep rock walls and stone outcrops created natural boundaries across the prehistoric landscape where prehistoric reptiles roamed millions of years ago.
Scientific Facts About the Prehistoric Stegosaurus
Despite its large body size weighing up to five tons, the Stegosaurus had a tiny brain roughly the size and shape of a walnut. The large upright bony plates running along its spinal column were not attached directly to its skeleton, but were embedded within the dinosaur's thick hide skin. Paleontologists believe the sharp four-spiked cluster at the end of its tail, known as a thagomizer, served as an effective defensive weapon against predatory theropods like Allosaurus.
