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.

I always thought it made sense that the back plates made it harder to climb on it's back, and if they got on top, the plates again block them from biting further down the body. Not to mention the plates would probably often be the focus of bites, acting as decoy.

The spikes and horns we find as fossils are the core parts and in life would have been 3 times longer.

When I was a kid in the early sixties I was really into dinosaurs like a lot of kids. My mom worked at a department store and would bring me little collections of plastic dinosaurs in a plastic bag. Most boys would have liked the T-Rex, but I loved Stegosaurus because it was an underdog and was so weird with those back plates and spikes. “Stegosaurus Smash!”

Look at the present: What are the most dangerous land animals? The elephant and the hippopotamus - both large herbivores. Hippopotami are ferociously territorial, they have terrible tempers, their teeth are a foot long, and they're much faster than they look. Elephants are mostly peaceful - although a bull elephant in musth is not, not at all. But if they want you to get out of their way, or if they feel threatened.......

Two things that are always overlooked with the plates: 1: just LOOKING larger is a very strong defense mechanism. Look at how cats turn sideways and arch their backs and fluff up their fur. They basically fake a stegosaurus body shape when threatened. 2: even if they're too weak to be good armor, the plates make it really difficult to bite directly down on the back. Even a weak plate is good defense if you have to deepthroat it to bite the spine. Imagine trying to eat a burger with 4 inch long Styrofoam plates pointing at your mouth. And with the thagomizer swinging, even a fraction of a second delay might be deadly.

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 😊

One thing I thought of when I was in high school was that along with thermoregulation, was that the stegosaur could use it’s plates to absorb oxygen from the air so that way there is less motor function for it to breathe since it’s brain is so small yet it’s body is so large

Stegosaurus: The "fuck around and find out" dinosaur. Jokes aside, I love stegosaurus. It always struck me as such a gentle giant who wasn't afraid to defend itself. It's also a personal mainstay in every park I manage in Jurassic World Evolution.

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.
