Description
Stegoceratops is a hybrid dinosaur designed by world-renowned geneticist Dr. Henry Wu, and can grow up to 12 meters in length and four tons in weight. This genus is comprised primarily of the DNA of Stegosaurus and Triceratops, with three large horns on its head and solid plates that run the length of its spine. It also contains the DNA of a beetle, providing the genus with a thick, tough armor that protects it from predators.
Discovery
Dr. Wu designed Stegoceratops at the Hammond Creation Laboratory alongside a number of other hybrid dinosaurs, including the highly intelligent apex predator Indominus rex. Wu’s plan was to create a series of new and exciting dinosaurs to increase the number of visitors to Jurassic Park, engineering new genera that presented a combination of the most impressive or notable features of existing dinosaurs.
Paleoecology
Although Stegoceratops is a young genus with a limited history, studies of its behavior have shown that it prefers a similar habitat to its ancestors Stegosaurus and Triceratops – forests and grasslands with plenty of vegetation.
Cohabitation Preferences
Behaviors are scripted in game files but are not guaranteed to happen. Dominance, territory, and traits determine whether they would actually fight.
