Yes. The distinguishing features of a mammal are warm blood and suckling their young, both of which the rhinoceros has.

Most Stegosaurus fossils come from the Morrison Formation in the western USA. Some states that have revealed Stegosaurus remains include Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. In 2006 it was announced that Stegosaurus had just been found in Portugal.

Spinosaurus had a large sail on its back that was connected to its spine. The sail may have been used for attracting mates, thermoregulation, and a new theory is it may have casted a shadow over a river to attract fish for the Spinosaurus to snatch.

A stgosaurus type.

When Othniel Charles Marsh discovered Stegosaurus in 1877, he believed that the plates laid on Stegosaurus's sides like the shingles on a roof. That is why he called it Stegosaurus, meaning "roof lizard" in Greek. Now we know that the plates stood up vertically.

# Stegosaurus laid hard shelled eggs, probably in a nest of vegetation to incubate the eggs. # The hatchlings were raised by their mothers for a while. # After a few years, the young Stegosaurus reach maturity. Soon they lay eggs and a new generation begins.

you can never know what it was like, because you can't even prove stegosaurus' existed!!!!!!!!!

ya they lives in forest and there was no grass when Dion's lived!!!!!!!

There were four different species of Stegosaurus. The largest was Stegosaurus armatus, which grew to be 30 feet long and weighed 5.5 tons, meaning that they had a mass of about 5,000 kg.

This plated dinosaur was an herbivore (it ate only plants). It must have eaten a large amount of calorie plant material each day to sustain its bulk, probably using its toothless beak to get food. There is debate on whether or not Stegosaurus could rear up on its rear legs to forage for vegetation. If it couldn't rear up, it was limited mostly to plants no taller than about 3 feet (1 m) tall. This would have included ferns, smaller club mosses, cycads, horsetails, and bushy conifers.

Most Reptiles have small, sharp, serrated teeth due to the fact that they are carnivores.

How "many" legs can a dinosaur have - two to four legs

Stegosaurus armatus was longer than S. stenops, at 30 feet vs 23 feet, respectively. S. armatus also had smaller plates than S. stenops. They both had four tail spikes, or thagomizers.

Stegosaurus existed from about 155 to 150 million years ago. That was during the Kimmeridgian and Tithonian stages of the Jurassic period. Stegosaurus fossils were discovered in Morrison, Colorado in 1877 by Othniel Charles Marsh.

Stegosaurus lived in what is now the USA between 155 and 150 million years ago, as well as Portugal.

In America, Stegosaurus would have lived alongside the carnivores Allosaurus, Epanterias, Saurophaganax, Ceratosaurus, Elaphrosaurus, Torvosaurus, and Ornitholestes, the sauropods Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, Barosaurus, Eobrontosaurus, and Brachiosaurus, the ornithopods Dryosaurus, Camptosaurus, Drinker, Othnielia, Othnielosaurus, Uteodon, the stegosaur Hesperosaurus, the ankylosaurs Mymooropelta and Gargoyleosaurus,

In Portugal, Stegosaurus probably lived alongside the carnivores Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, and Lourinhanosaurus, the stegosaurids Miragaia and Dacentrurus, the ornithopod Draconyx, the ankylosaur Dracopelta, and the sauropods Lusotitan and Dinheirosaurus.

Tetrapod refers to any terrestrial vertebrate. That includes amphibians like frogs, reptiles like dinosaurs, including Stegosaurus, birds, and mammals, including humans.

Well, nobody knows because Stegosauruses have been extinct for over 1.4 million years. However, Stegosaurus may have layed 1-4 eggs at a time. More then likely the father did not stick around to help the mother raise the young.

Whenever a predator like Allosaurus came around, the mother would have got in front of her young flapping the plates up and down and swishing her tail in an attempt to scare it away. If this did not work, she may have turned around and waved her tail in the enemy's face, possibly inflicting some sort of injury to it with the spikes on her tail.

Stegosaurus fossils come from the Morrison Formation in the western USA and date to between 155 and 150 million years ago. Some have recently been found in Portugal from the same time period. At that time, the area was a semi-arid subtropical plain with distinct wet and dry seasons. Near rivers, there were forests of conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, ferns, and horsetails. Further from the rivers there were open areas covered in ferns with scattered trees. It is believed that Stegosaurus preferred the drier fern fields.

Stegosaurus was not a fast runner. To compensate, they had four long tail spikes made of bone. The Stegosaurus would keep its tail end towards an attacker, and attempt to stab the attacker with its thagomizers.

There are many theories as to why the stegosaurus (and indeed, all the dinosaurs) went extinct. The current prevailing theory is that a meteor hit the Earth and caused large amounts of CO2 to clog the atmosphere causing an ice age which was too cold for the cold-blooded reptiles.

Answer2: That dinosaurs existed abundantly throughout the earth, in an ancient landscape long ago vanished, is obvious from the fossil record. But these amazing creatures, along with countless other animal and plant kinds, passed out of existence. As to just when these things took place, paleontologist D. A. Russell states: "Unfortunately, existing methods for measuring the duration of events that happened so long ago are relatively imprecise."Fossil record does not yield its secrets so easily and that no one on earth today really knows all the answers.

Listing some speculations as to what happened to them, Princeton scientist G. L. Jepson stated:

"Authors with varying competence have suggested that dinosaurs disappeared because the climate deteriorated . . . or that the diet did. . . . Other writers have put the blame on disease, parasites, . . . changes in the pressure or composition of the atmosphere, poison gases, volcanic dust, excessive oxygen from plants, meteorites, comets, gene pool drainage by little mammalian egg-eaters, . . . cosmic radiation, shift of Earth's rotational poles, floods, continental drift, . . . drainage of swamp and lake environments, sunspots."-The Riddle of the Dinosaur.

It is apparent from such speculation that scientists are not able, with any certainty, to answer the question: What happened to the dinosaurs?

University of Arizona scientist David Jablonski concludes that 'for many plants and animals, extinction was abrupt and somehow special.Mass extinctions are not merely the cumulative effects of gradual dyings. Something unusual happened.' Their arrival was also abrupt. Scientific American observes: "The sudden appearance of both suborders of the pterosaurs without any obvious antecedents is fairly typical of the fossil record." That is also the case with dinosaurs. Their relatively sudden appearance and disappearance contradicts the commonly accepted view of slow evolution.

There were four different species of Stegosaurus. The largest was Stegosaurus armatus, which grew to be 30 feet long and weighed 5.5 tons. Stegosaurus longispinus and Stegosaurus stenops both grew to be about 23 feet long.

Yes, Stegosaurus was an herbivorous dinosaur. They probably ate mosses, ferns, horsetails, cycads and conifers. They only ate plants that grew within about 3 feet of the ground, unless they were able to rear onto their hind legs. A study of the bite force and teeth of Stegosaurus suggests that they couldn't bite through sticks that were more than 1.2 centimeters thick, so they would have needed to eat very tender vegetation.

Stegosaurus had long hind limbs and short forelimbs. Its head and neck were very low to the ground, and its head was small, with a beak that it used for cropping off vegetation. They had 17 plates on their back in two rows, one row on either side of the spines. They had four tail spikes, or thagomizers, that they used for self defense.

There are a number of theories regarding the function of Stegosaurus plates.

# They were used for thermoregulation. The blood vessels in the plates allowed the animal to cool itself in the wind. However, close relatives of Stegosaurus didn't have plates that would be a good shape for cooling, so plates probably weren't necessary for cooling the animal. # They were used for display or to intimidate rivals. Stegosaurus plates could have potentially blushed red. One piece of evidence against this is that both male and female Stegosaurus had similar plates, whereas displays are usually only present on males. # Some say Stegosaurus plates were used as armor, but they left the sides exposed and thus wouldn't have been very effective as armor. Paleontologist Robert Bakker believes that the plates may have been mobile, though, and that they could move them to help fight off predators. If he is correct, the plates would hang down on its back when Stegosaurus wasn't using them.

Ceratosaurus was a theropod, a member of the suborder that gave rise to birds. Of all of the dinosaur groups, theropods are most likely to have been warm blooded. However, fossil evidence suggests that it wasn't only theropods and birds, but all dinosaurs that were warm blooded.
