Azendohsaurus

Azendohsaurus is a genus of stegosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic Period, about 150-145 million years ago. It was a medium-sized, herbivorous dinosaur, with an estimated length of about 16-23 feet and a weight of about 500-1000 pounds. Azendohsaurus had a small, triangular head with a beak and a battery of cheek teeth for grinding up plants. It also had a distinctive, bony armor on its back, which was made up of a series of large plates and spines. Its body was probably covered in a layer of tough, scaly skin.

Azendohsaurus was discovered in Morocco in the 1990s, and was named by paleontologists in 2001. It is considered a member of the stegosaurid group of dinosaurs, which also includes species such as Stegosaurus and Tuojiangosaurus. Azendohsaurus is known from a number of well-preserved fossil specimens, including several partial skeletons and skulls, which have helped paleontologists learn more about the anatomy and behavior of this dinosaur. It is thought to be closely related to other stegosaurids such as Adratiklit and Miragaia.
