I’ve been wondering this for a while now. How would Stegosaurids mate? They can’t climb on each other without getting stabbed!
My pleasure.
I think there's a video out there explaining it, but that was a really long time ago
Is it the Same for ankylosaurids???
It’s possible, yes. Either that or just one lays on its side while the other climbs on the underbelly side
If it's true for stegosaurids, I'd imagine it was an ancestral condition - had to have some way of getting around that proto-armour, after all.
Me like dino penis chat
Stegosaurids probably had a... flexible penis and they mated side to side (Ik sounds weird)
In the case of others like ankylosaurids the female would lay down sideways and you know the rest
I think both groups did the same thing, but that's unfounded speculation.
I like to think they made the same noises tortoises make when mating. Would just be funny
Palaeo you released unholy knowledge
What do you think?
