Of course our very favourite one is Prince, the big blue Stegosaurus in The Mighty Claws Adventures stories. But when he\u2019s not around we still think they\u2019re great. And here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n<p><b>Crushing on Greens<\/b><br \/>\nStegosaurus ate gastroliths. Small stones that ground its favourite vegetables up in its stomach. \u00a0It is believed to have eaten plants such as mosses, ferns, horsetails, cycads and conifers or fruits. No grass though, because it didn\u2019t exist yet. True, but hard to swallow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-338\" src=\"https:\/\/mightyadventures.com\/southampton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/Stego_stones.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"782\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Chew on this one<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Stegosaurus didn&#8217;t have many teeth. It only had a toothless beak at the front of its mouth, and small teeth in its cheeks. You know the old saying, \u2018remember to chew your food\u2019? Well it would have fallen on deaf ears 65 million years ago.<\/p>\n<p><b>No way! Yes way.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Scientist think Stegosaurus may have been able to lift itself up onto two legs. Imagine that!
