Stegosaurus is a dinosaur that had a large body with a small head and tiny brain. The brain weight of a stegosaurus was only 70 grams, the smallest among other dinosaurs.
Its teeth are also very different from the teeth of other dinosaurs, namely very small and shaped like leaves. Come on, get to know Stegosaurs better!

What Did Stegosaurus Eat?
This type of dinosaur liked ferns and other plants. Having a small mouth and weak teeth, stegosaurus could only eat soft leaves.
Even so, the plants that are eaten are not only the short ones. Stegosaurus could stand on its hind legs and tail, so this animal was able to reach plants up to 3.5 meters high.
When Did Stegosaurus Go Extinct?
Stegosaurus became extinct at the beginning of the Cretaceous period, approximately 135 million years ago. Stegosaurus became extinct long before other dinosaurs suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth.
As for the extinction of stegosaurus, no one can be sure why. This could be because they cannot survive or are less able to defend themselves, or because of changes in temperature and natural disasters.
Stegosaurus and other groups of dinosaurs eventually became extinct over time. This stage marks the emergence of new life in the world according to the conditions of the time and environment at that time.
