Fact: “Imigqa ephindwe kabili yamapuleti kanye ne-thagomizer enezipikili ezine—izikhali ezingokomfanekiso.”

Description: I-Stegosaurus ibonakala ngokushesha ngemigqa ebhanqiwe yamapuleti amade e-dermal kanye nama-caudal spikes amane eqoqo abizwa ngokuthi i-thagomizer. Amapuleti kungenzeka asebenze ekubonisweni, ukuqashelwa kwezinhlobo zezilwane, futhi mhlawumbe ne-thermoregulation; izikhali zomsila zingaletha ukuguquka okulimazayo ngokumelene nama-theropods. Naphezu kwama-anecdotes athandwayo, ama-stegosaurs awazange abe "nobuchopho besibili" ku-pelvis-lo mbono uvela emseleni we-neural owandisiwe kuma-vertebrae e-sacral ahlala imizimba ye-glycogen noma ukunwetshwa kwezinzwa okungahlobene nokuqonda.

Features:
  - Kufika kumapuleti angu-17 ahlobise umugqa omaphakathi we-dorsal kubantu abavuthiwe
  - Usayizi wobuchopho obuncane obuhlobene nesisindo somzimba ubonisa ibanga le-basal ornithischian
  - Kuphakelwa ngokukhethekile ngama-ferns aphansi, ama-cycadophyte, nezihlahlana
