It had a short neck and a small head, meaning it most likely ate low-lying bushes and shrubs. Stegosaurus had a relatively low brain-to-body mass ratio. Today, it is generally agreed that their spiked tails were most likely used for defense against predators, while their plates may have been used primarily for display, and secondarily for thermoregulatory functions. The function of this array of plates and spikes has been the subject of much speculation among scientists. Due to their distinctive combination of broad, upright plates and tail tipped with spikes, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable kinds of dinosaurs. They were large, heavily built, herbivorous quadrupeds with rounded backs, short fore limbs, long hind limbs, and tails held high in the air. Stegosaurus would have lived alongside dinosaurs such as Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Camarasaurus and Allosaurus, the latter of which may have preyed on it.
The remains of over 80 individual animals of this genus have been found. Of the species that have been classified in the upper Morrison Formation of the western US, only three are universally recognized: S. Fossils of the genus have been found in the western United States and in Portugal, where they are found in Kimmeridgian- to Tithonian-aged strata, dating to between 155 and 145 million years ago.
