This section started out with the intent to have weekly!dinosaurs and has become more like twice-yearly!dinosaurs. But, hey, this is a Keanu Reeves fansite. By right there shouldn't be any dinosaurs, so count yourselves lucky. I've thought of ditching this section altogether, but then realised that this would mean giving up WINM's prestigious status as the Keanu fansite with the most dinosaurs. And that is not a status I wish to lose. So here's the Stegosaurus! It lived in the late Jurassic period and is one of the most recognisable dinosaurs, mostly due to its distinctive appearance with those plate-like things running in two columns down its spine. Wikipedia says that 'Stegosaurus' means 'roof lizard' (or 'covered lizard', because roofs cover things). Stegosaurus was herbivorous, large and slow-moving, and its main form of defence against predators consisted of four sharp tail spikes on its tail - which it could swing at attackers to injure them or scare them away. No one really knows for sure what the plates on the Stegosaurus' back were for. Theories include some form of heat regulation (where blood could move through them and be cooled) or defence (where they could be used as a threatening display) or to attract mates. Stegosaurus had a small brain. Wikipedia says it was perhaps the smallest of all the dinosaurs, but that it didn't mean unintelligence: in humans at least, intelligence is less dependent on brain size than on the number of neuron connections within the brain. Or something. I don't actually get all my dinosaur information from Wikipedia. A lot of it stems from vague and possibly-incorrect memories of books and documentaries I encountered during my childhood dinosaur obsession. I wanted to be a dinosaur when I grew up! Instead I became a Keanu Reeves fan, which isn't as cool because people make fun of you, but at least you're not extinct. |
