Description: Stegosaurus is a well-known dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. It was a herbivorous dinosaur that is known for the distinctive plates on its back and the long spikes on its tail. Stegosaurus had a small head, a short neck, and a large, heavily-built body. It had a relatively small brain, but its eyes were large and were likely used for detecting predators. Stegosaurus had four legs and walked on its hind legs, using its tail for balance. The plates on its back were arranged in a single row along its spine, and the spikes on its tail were used for defense against predators. Stegosaurus was one of the most common dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic period and has been found in fossil deposits all over the world.
