Welcome to Stegosaurus coloring pages ! Stegosaurus is an armoured dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period. Due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs. A large, heavily built, herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily arched back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. The spikes were most likely used for defense, while the plates have also been proposed as a defensive mechanism.
