We set its body to be about 8 meters long and 2.7 meters high at the hip to scale down. If the height of the bony plates is included, it can reach 3.5 meters. The towering bony plates made it look taller and mightier than it actually was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1802\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-3.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-3-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-3-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-3-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Head of Bider the <em>Stegosaurus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of Biber the <em>Stegosaurus<\/em> was quite small. From our restoration, you can see its small head is in stark contrast to its huge body. Its eyes were also very small, and the anterior of the head was specialized into a hard keratinous beak, like that of birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"770\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/\u5251\u9f99\u5934\u90e8-2-1024x770.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1807\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/\u5251\u9f99\u5934\u90e8-2-1024x770.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/\u5251\u9f99\u5934\u90e8-2-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/\u5251\u9f99\u5934\u90e8-2-768x577.png 768w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/\u5251\u9f99\u5934\u90e8-2.png 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Bony Plates of Biber the <em>Stegosaurus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biber the <em>Stegosaurus<\/em> had huge bony plates; the ones above the hip were even bigger. These bony plates were covered by keratin, with sharp serrations, functioning as defense, show-off, etc. During the restoration, we clearly showed the shape and arrangement of those bony plates and presented the right colors according to their functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1804\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-4.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-4-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-4-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.pnso.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-4-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Limbs of Biber the <em>Stegosaurus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biber the <em>Stegosaurus<\/em> had shorter forelimbs with five fingers on each, and the hindlimbs were longer than the forelimbs with three toes. The different lengths of the forelimbs and hindlimbs made it walk slowly.
