Stegosaurus V2 (SciiFii)

Stegosaurus redwoodus (name meaning "redwood roof lizard") is a species of large plated herbivorous dinosaur originally from the Late Jurassic period, where they are found in Kimmeridgian to early Tithonian aged strata, between 155 and 150 million years ago, in the western United States and Portugal, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike the first species of Stegosaurus (re)created by SciiFii, have been introduced throughout the swamps, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across western Mexico and the United States to help boost biodiversity. Stegosaurus redwoodus is a large, heavily built, herbivorous quadrupedal animal with a rounded back, short forelimbs, long hindlimbs, and tail that is held high in the air. Due to its distinctive combination of a broad, upright plates and tail tipped with spikes, Stegosaurus redwoodus, Stegosaurus darwinii (SciiFii's first Stegosaurus species), and the original Stegosaurus species are one of the most recognizable kinds of non-avian dinosaurs. The array of plates are normwlly used for display to attract females and secondarily for thermoregulatoryfunctions, while the spikes are used for defense against possible predators. Stegosaurus redwoodus has a relatively low brain-to-body mass ratio. It has a short neck and a small head, forcing it to normally feed on low-lying plants such as bushes, shrubs, ferns, cycads, horsetails, low-lying leaves, fruits. The conservation status of Stegosaurus redwoodus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the species' wide range. Although illegal in California and Arizona, Stegosaurus redwoodus plates can be ripped from the dead Stegosaurus redwoodus and filled with any kind of soup in any restaurants once the insides of the Stegosaurus plates have been removed.
