Stegosaurus is a large herbivorous dinosaur from North America. It is an adoptable animal in both Wildlife Park 2 and Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
Stegosaurus (Roof lizard) was the largest member of the Stegosauria dinosaurs, a group of herbivorous quadrupedal dinosaurs identified by the large plates and spikes running along their backs. Stegosaurus featured a distinctive double-alternating row of kite shaped plates across its back and tail, the largest of which could be 60cm (2ft), and four long spikes on its tail, an arrangement known as a "thagomizer". The exact function of Stegosaurus' plates is unclear, but it has been suggested they may have been used for display, with a secondary function of regulating its body temperature. The thagomizer was likely a defensive weapon against predators such as the theropod Allosaurus.
Stegosaurus lived during the Jurassic Period in the United States, with fossils most commonly found in the Morrison Formation. Given its heavy build, short neck and small head - containing one of the smallest brains in comparison to body size of any animal - it is likely it would have eaten low-lying bushes and shrubs. It has been suggested that Stegosaurus may have formed loose herds with the ornithopod Camptosaurus, relying on the sharp eyesight of the smaller herbivores to spot predators.
Wildlife Park 2[]
Stegosaurus is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 2 and was added as part of the Dino World expansion pack. The required amount of genes needed to breed this animal is 500 and costs $55,000. Its daily need and enrichment necessities include grass, fruits, water, scratching and wallowing (mud). They also prefer a minimum herd of 2, with 6 as the maximum number of herd.
