Key Facts About Stegosaurus
Stegosaurus lived in western North America during the Late Jurassic period alongside meat-eating dinosaurs like Allosaurus. Its back plates were not attached directly to its bones but were embedded in its thick leather skin. Despite having a body as large as a modern bus, its brain was only about the size of a walnut.
