As easily recognized by the general public as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops are, Stegosaurus are easily identified by their small head, large back plates, and spiked tail.

An aggressive yet lazy herbivore, Stegosaurus diet consists mainly of mosses and grasses. They are somewhat slow-moving, and prefer to travel in groups of 2 or 3 families. A series of spikes jutting from each side of their tail provide much needed defense against predators and can kill when needed.

The signature plates jutting from the back of stegosaurus we have found to be colorful and used in mating displays, unlike early beliefs that they were very simple colored. Studies show that, as speculated by paleontologists, the plates also aid in thermal regulation and help warm the creatures body for more rapid activity.

The name s. Novacula was assigned to the specimens discovered in Maple White Land due to the presence of several minor differences between their structure and that of the similar fossil paleotype s. Stenops
