Stegosaurus

Stegosaurus was a Late Jurassic (155-150 Mya) herbivorous quadrupedal dinosaur known for its array of upright plates on its back and strong spiked tail. Heavily built with short limbs, a small head, and large body, Stegosaurus was a defensive dinosaur that likely foraged for twigs and low hanging fruits.

Stegosaurus had a body length of 30’ (9.1 m), a height of 14’ | 4.3 m, and a width of 6' (1.8 m). Stegosaurus typically weighed between 11,700-15,400 lb (5.3-7 metric tons).

What do reptiles eat?

Reptiles are typically carnivores and feed on eating other animals like insects, mollusks, birds, frogs, mammals, fishes, or sometimes other reptiles. Some reptile species like land tortoises are vegetarians and eat leaves, grass, or cactus while the marine iguana dives into the sea to obtain seaweed for consumption.

Why do reptiles shed?

Reptiles shed their skin so that they can continue to grow. When they shed, reptiles grow a new layer of skin underneath their old skin and then shed their old one. When they shed their skin reptiles also get rid of any parasites during the process. The process of shedding is referred to as sloughing.

When did reptiles first appear?

Reptiles first appeared 315 million years ago during the time period known as the Late Carboniferous Period. This time period is also referred to as the Pennsylvanian and the Coal Age. The first reptile is considered to be the Hylonomus lyelli and is also the first animal known to have fully adapted to life on land.
