To be fair, those Thagomizers are brutal

🤓 did you know the Stegosaurus was as old to the t rex as the t rex is too us 🦖 that's a rock fact

Amateur. Took literal eons for someone to say this about Stegasour. I've gotten people to say this about me in my short lifetime.

I'm something of a grotesque freak of nature, myself.

Plus 10 points for that display to not have steggy in a sprawled posture. Still inaccurate to my modern eyes, but not horrible

The boldness to wear frosted tips in the Late Jurassic. Stego is my fave.

Stegosaurus was a weird looking critter but that's only because of the secret message hidden in every photo of him.
