Wuerhosaurus

Wuerhosaurus was a type of plated dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period. It belonged to the group known as stegosaurs, which were herbivores that walked on four legs and typically reached lengths of up to 9 meters (30 feet).1

Stegosaurs, including Wuerhosaurus, are characterized by their small skulls and brains relative to their body size. They had shorter forelimbs than hind limbs, giving them an arched back, and their feet were short and broad. A distinctive feature was the double row of large, bony plates along their backs and tails, which may have helped regulate their body temperature. They also possessed a spiked tail, likely used for defense.12
