DID YOU KNOW?

• Despite its imposing size, Stegosaurus possessed a brain roughly the size of a plum, suggesting modest cognitive abilities.

• The demise of Stegosaurus remains shrouded in mystery, as no significant extinction event is recorded during the Late Jurassic period.

• In contrast to popular assumptions, Stegosaurus did not inhabit the same era as Tyrannosaurus or Triceratops, having gone extinct some 80 million years prior to their existence.

• Stegosaurus is a member of the stegosaur group, characterized by large herbivores sporting two rows of bony plates or spikes along their backs.

• Despite various hypotheses, the purpose of these plates remains elusive, with suggestions ranging from regulating body temperature to attracting mates through display.

• While subsequent stegosaur discoveries have emerged from fossil-rich regions like the Rocky Mountains, the initial find occurred in Swindon in 1874.

• The term "Stegosaurus" translates to "roof lizard."

• Initially thought to lay flat as defensive armor, Stegosaurus' back plates were later discovered to stand upright in multiple specimens.

• With notably shorter front legs compared to their hind counterparts, Stegosaurus exhibited a leisurely pace, topping out at just 4 miles per hour.

• Equipped with diminutive teeth, Stegosaurus excelled at slicing through vegetation and plant matter.
