The Real Kentrosaurus
This armour-plated
dinosaur was 2.5 metres long and lived about 145 million years ago
in Africa. It moved slowly - in fact, you could probably run faster
than a Kentrosaurus! It plodded around munching low-growing plants,
such as ferns. Kentrosaurus had impressive spikes and plates along
its back which probably helped to protect is from large meat-eating
dinosaurs. Scientists think that the plates were covered with skin.
It Kentrosaurus became too hot it could stand sideways in a breeze.
This would have cooled the blood in the skin over the plates. Also
if Kentrosaurus became too cool it could turn its plates to face the
sun and get warm.
