Few dinosaurs have as recognizable of a silhouette as Stegosaurus.

Paleontologists have disputed the purpose of those plates for decades. Some say they were for defense, others say they were for thermoregulation... I for one agree with those who say they were for display. Just look at them, they’re really quite fashionable! Our merchandising team oughta take a page out of their book!

Despite its large body size, Stegosaurus is quite the pea-brain! Their tiny brains are perfectly suited to dealing with challenges in their natural environment, but when it comes to brain teasers... They're a little bit slow.

Famed cartoonist Gary Larson dubbed those tall spikes "thagomizers" in one of the Far Side cartoons... ... and many paleontologists have since affectionately used the term as if it was an official piece of anatomical vocabulary.
