Kentrosaurus
Click here for more Kentrosaurus Pictures
Kentrosaurus was a slow-moving herbivore (plant-eater) that lived
in Africa during the late Jurassic period,
about 156 to 150 million years ago.
It was about 16 feet (4.9 meters) long, and weighed around 2 tons.
Kentrosaurus may have been slow-moving, but it was well protected from predators
by its armor.
Its back was covered with a double row of triangular bony plates on each
side of the backbone. At the rear, the plates were then replaced with pairs
of sharp spikes, about 2 feet (60 centimeters) long, that went from the lower
back down to the tip of the tail. There was also a pair on extra long
spikes on the hips.
Kentrosaurus was one of the
Fossils
brought back from the
1909-1912
German expedition to East Africa.
Edwin Henning, who was one of the paleontologists on this expedition, published
the first full description of Kentosaurus in
1915.
A nearly complete skeleton of Kentrosaurus once stood in the Humboldt
Museum in the University of
Berlin, however, unfortunately, this was
lost as a result of bombing during World War II.
Although it usually believed that Kentrosaurus died out millions of years
ago,
there are some cryptozoologists (people who search for
rumored or mythical animals whose existence is uncertain) have suggested
that "Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu", an animal claimed to be known
to villagers in the Northern part of the Republic of Congo,
might just be a living Kentrosaurus.
However, as yet, there does not seem to be any
definitive proof of this.
