Stegosaur

The Spiky-Backed Dinosaurs with a Mighty Tail

Meet the Stegosaurs, the dinosaurs with a spiky back and a powerful tail!

Stegosaurs, like the well-known Stegosaurus, roamed the Earth during the Late Jurassic period, around 155 to 150 million years ago.

These plant-eating dinosaurs had large, bony plates running along their backs and spiky tails that they could swing to defend themselves. The plates might have helped them stay cool or look impressive to others.

Stegosaurs were about the size of a bus and had tiny heads for their big bodies, with mouths that snipped plants for food.

Imagine these gentle giants plodding through ancient forests, their plates towering above and tails ready to fend off any predator.

Stegosaurs are a reminder of the incredible adaptations dinosaurs developed to survive in their prehistoric world!
