STEGOSAURUS SKELETON Pint Glass

Stegosaurus, a well-known dinosaur from the Jurassic period, lived approximately 150 million years ago. It is easily recognized by its distinctive double row of large, bony plates along its back and the spikes on its tail, known as the thagomizer, which it likely used for defense against predators. Stegosaurus was a herbivore, primarily feeding on low-lying plants. Despite its formidable appearance, Stegosaurus had a small brain relative to its body size. The purpose of its plates has been widely debated, with theories suggesting they were used for thermoregulation, display, or protection.
