Stegouros (Safari)

Stegouros was a fascinating herbivorous dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period, around 72 to 75 million years ago. Discovered in what is now Chile, Stegouros, meaning "roofed tail," is known for its unique and distinctive tail structure, which resembled a leaf-shaped weapon. This small yet intriguing dinosaur adds to the rich diversity of ankylosaurs.

One of the most notable features of Stegouros is its tail, which had large, flat bones arranged in a frill-like pattern, giving it a distinct, almost weapon-like appearance. Unlike other ankylosaurs, Stegouros was relatively small, measuring about 6 feet long. Its lightweight build and unique tail structure suggest it may have used its tail both for defense and display. The discovery of Stegouros fossils has provided valuable insights into the evolution of ankylosaurs, particularly in South America, captivating paleontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts alike.
