Artwork of Stegosaurus dinosaur, Stegosaurus sp
Stegosaurus. Artwork of a Stegosaurus (Stegosaurus sp.) dinosaur. Stegosaurs (" roofed reptiles" ) were herbivores that lived throughout the world around 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period. They reached about 6 metres (m) long and 2.5m high at the hips, weighing about 1.5 tonnes. The distinctive broad plates running in two rows along their backs are thought to have helped control their body temperature by radiating or absorbing heat. Stegosaurs defended themselves with the long spikes on their tails. They had tiny brains in relation to their size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible artwork of a Stegosaurus dinosaur, scientifically known as Stegosaurus sp. These magnificent creatures roamed the Earth approximately 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period. With a length of about 6 meters and a height of 2.5 meters at the hips, they weighed an astonishing 1.5 tonnes. What sets Stegosaurs apart is their unique feature - broad plates that run in two rows along their backs. It is believed that these plates played a crucial role in regulating their body temperature by either radiating or absorbing heat from the environment. In addition to their impressive plates, Stegosaurs possessed another formidable defense mechanism: long spikes on their tails. These spikes acted as weapons against potential threats, ensuring their survival in an ancient world filled with predators. Despite their massive size, it is fascinating to note that these prehistoric giants had relatively small brains compared to other dinosaurs of similar proportions. This awe-inspiring artwork not only captures the essence of this remarkable species but also serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with paleontology and our desire to understand and appreciate Earth's rich history through art and science.
