What the Stegosaurus picture shows
The plant-eating dinosaur is shown in profile among several tufts of grass. Its small head, sturdy legs, long tail, and two rows of large back plates create its recognizable shape. A rounded hill supports the scene, with fluffy clouds appearing above the animal.
Curious facts about Stegosaurus on open ground
Stegosaurus carried upright plates made of bone along its back, but those plates were not attached directly to the main skeleton. Blood vessels in the plates suggest they may have played a role in display or temperature control, although scientists still discuss their exact functions. Its low head was well positioned for feeding on vegetation close to the ground.
