Struthiosaurus (SciiFii)

Struthiosaurus armatus, also known as the Hațeg Island juggernaut, the pygmy juggernaut, and the dwarf juggernaut, is a species of non-avian nodosaurid dinosaur that originally lived from the Late Cretaceous period (Santonian-Maastrichtian) of Austria, Romania, France and Hungary in Europe as three extinct species, Struthiosaurus austriacus, Struthiosaurus transylvanicus, and Struthiosaurus languedocensis, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern day Hațeg Island to help boost biodiversity and recreate the lost world and ecology of the island. Struthiosaurus armatus is a rather small animal for an ankylosaurian, growing to between 2.7 and 3 meters (8.9 and 9.8 feet) long and can weigh up to 300 kilograms (660 lbs). As an ankylosaurian dinoaur, it has very poor hearing and relies mostly on its armor for defense against predators. Struthiosaurus armatus is a selective-feeding herbivore and primarily feeds on C3 plants, shrubs, herbaceous plants, leaves and ferns. It is is very sluggish in nature as well as being largely solitary throughout its life outside of mating season. The conservation status of Struthiosaurus armatus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
