It's fascinating to think that Stegosaurus had already been extinct for 80 million years by the time T-Rex appeared. T-Rex only lived 66 million years ago, so that means we live closer in time to the T-Rex than it did to the Stegosaurus. Stegosaurus was already a fossil when T-Rex walked the earth. Stegosaurus was a true Jurassic icon. It wasn't a dinosaur to be messed with.

It's not scarier. They DO know when to chill because they only get aggressive when you either provoke them, get too close to them, or get near their babies. A carnivore is more likely to hunt you for food than any herbivore. I know herbivores can eat meat at times and certain ones could hunt a little bit, but they are not as active hunters and evolved to tackle and kill prey as carnivores, or certain large omnivores like bears.

A 7-tonne male Stegosaurus. He too is a herbivore but very dangerous. The large plates on his back are primarily there for display. It's the meter-long spikes on his tail that makes him so lethal. These he can wield with devastating effect, despite having a very small brain for his body size.

Love this dinosaur. Our 5th grade teacher (early 60's) read us a book at story time, "The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek", by Evelyn Sibley Lampman . . . later the sequel, "The Shy Stegosaurus of Indian Springs". I bought both books, giving them to my Grandsons, who actually live near where the story took place, in Oregon. In 7th grade I got a 1st in the State in the Science Fair at the University of Illinois, with a project on "The Stegosaurus". In the movie, "Journey To The Beginning Of Time", one evening a Stegosaurus is killed in battle with a Ceratosaurus. The next morning the 4 adventurers of the movie investigate a life sized model, climbing all over it taking measurements.This inspired me to recreated the dead Stego' in snow that winter . . . a bit smaller though 😊

Herbivores can be just as scary if not more so than carnivores

I'm not sure why everybody gushes over carnivores so much. Theyre pretty bland and uniform in their morphology compared to herbivores, with the exception being size and heat ornamentation. Herbivores vary widely in body type, defensive strategies and size. Totally underrated.

great video! i really enjoyed the insights you shared, but i have to say, i’m a bit skeptical about the idea that the scariest animal wasn't a carnivore. I mean, sure, some herbivores could have been intimidating, but they weren't actively hunting. doesn't that change the whole definition of 'scary'? curious to hear what others think!

The stegosaurus has a small brain? That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Koalas. So dumb that you cannot feed them leaves separate from a branch, you have to hand them a branch with leaves attached (they only recognise leaves if they're currently attached to a branch). But! As a species, they're still around. Obviously, not being able to recognise leaves torn off a branch as food has not been a factor in their survival. It's not just that they have a small brain, but it is figured that they're effectively stoned all the time due to what their diet is and the way it is digested. Crows, ravens, and other corvids. Quite a small brain compared with a person, but a level of intelligence and problem solving that is at the approximate level of a five year old, on top of an excellent ability to see, to smell, to fly.

Future video idea: usually when people talk about the Jurassic they refer to the late Jurassic and the Morrison for formation (understandably because it’s the best known from the Jurassic very interesting) but I would really appreciate if you would talk about a different part of the world (or different time) in the Jurassic

People talk about stegosaurus and triceratops as being carnivore killers. The rhinos and hippos of their days, but I’ve seen many people dismiss or ignore the ankylosaurus in this discussion. Which is hilarious to me because we have found triceratops with bite marks from large therapods on their frills; with bone growth. Which indicates they survived the encounter and were seen as a prey item by said carnivore. We have the same for Stegosaurus and their plates indicating allosaurus hunted them, and also evidence that allosaurus did at least occasionally lose. We have no evidence of Ankylosaurus being a prey item though. An armoured low to the ground dinosaur with a wrecking ball of a tail… would have been like an African tortoise if it could swing a baseball bat a lion. Lions toy with tortoises sure, but they aren’t normally prey, and if the tortoise was the size of a car with a club the weight of a couple fridges condensed down to the side of an end table… no one is messing with that.

Another awesome video. I'm still wanting to see a video on the following creatures The Helicoprion, Jaguars, Leopards, and Hyenas. Minor question, if we now know that a majority of iconic Dinosaurs had plummage or some form of feathers, wouldn't it make sense that some of the lesser known ones like Steggo would also have it? I guess decause we haven't seen it appear on any of the skeletons yet, that we simply don't know. Keep up the amazing work.

16:30 Its believed that one of the contributing factors to the demise of stegosaurids in general was the emergence of generalists in the form of early hadrosaurs and ceratopsians that could make use of not only the limited variety of food stegosaurus fed on but a much wider variety of plants further fueling their numbers and competition for stegosaurus' limited food.

That they aren’t supposed to be there anyway? I don’t think I’ve really seen any anachronism in educationally content videos like these… but I really can’t for the life of me figure out what they are if they aren’t cams lol
