About Stenopelix

Stegoceras is a genus of small, herbivorous pachycephalosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76 to 65 million years ago. It was characterized by its large, bony skull dome and short, powerful forelimbs. Stegoceras was about 2 meters (6.5 feet) long and weighed around 80 kg (176 lbs). It had a small brain and poor eyesight, but may have used its bony head to ram into opponents or prey. Stegoceras was found in North America and Asia.
