Kwakunezinhlobo eziningi zama-dinosaur ezazihlala emahlathini enkathi yeJurassic. Elinye lawo linomzimba omkhulu futhi lihamba ngemilenze emine. Ahlukile kwamanye ama-dinosaur ngoba anameva amaningi enkemba afana nabalandeli emhlane wawo. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi – iStegosaurus, ngakho-ke iyini inzuzo “yenkemba” ngemuvaI-Stegosaurus?
I-Stegosaurus yayiyi-dinosaur enemilenze emine edla uhlaza eyayiphila cishe ngasekupheleni kwenkathi yeJurassic. Njengamanje, izinsalela ze-Stegosaurus zitholakale ikakhulukazi eNyakatho Melika naseYurophu. I-Stegosaurus iyi-dinosaur enkulu ekhuluphele ngempela. Ubude bomzimba wayo bungaba amamitha ayi-9 kanti ukuphakama kwayo kungaba amamitha ama-4, okungaba usayizi webhasi eliphakathi nendawo. Ikhanda likaStegosaurus lincane kakhulu kunomzimba okhuluphele, ngakho libukeka libuthakathaka, futhi amandla obuchopho balo makhulu njengowenja kuphela. Izitho zikaStegosaurus ziqinile kakhulu, zinezinzwane ezi-5 emilenzeni yangaphambili nezinzwane ezi-3 emilenzeni yangemuva, kodwa izitho zayo zangemuva zinde kunezitho zangaphambili, okwenza ikhanda likaStegosaurus libe seduze nomhlabathi, lidle izitshalo eziphansi, nomsila uphakanyiswe phezulu emoyeni.
Ososayensi banokuqagela okuhlukile mayelana nomsebenzi wameva enkemba ngemuva kweStegosaurus, ngokolwazi lweKawah Dinosaur, kunemibono emithathu eyinhloko:
Okokuqala, lezi “zinkemba” zisetshenziselwa ukuthandana. Kungase kube nemibala ehlukene emeveni, futhi leyo enemibala emihle ikhanga kakhulu abobulili obuhlukile. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi ubukhulu bameva kuStegosaurus ngayinye buhlukile, kanti ameva amakhulu akhanga kakhulu abobulili obuhlukile.
Okwesibili, lezi “zinkemba” zingasetshenziswa ukulawula izinga lokushisa lomzimba, ngoba kunezimbobo eziningi ezincane emeveni, okungaba yizindawo lapho igazi lingadlula khona. I-Stegosaurus imunca futhi ichithe ukushisa ngokulawula inani legazi eligeleza emeveni, njenge-air conditioner ezenzakalelayo emhlane wayo.
Okwesithathu, ipuleti lamathambo lingavikela imizimba yawo. Enkathini yeJurassic, ama-dinosaur ezweni aqala ukuchuma, futhi ama-dinosaur adla inyama akhula kancane kancane ngobukhulu, okwaba usongo olukhulu kuStegosaurus odla izitshalo. UStegosaurus wayenepuleti lamathambo “elifana nentaba yommese” emhlane wakhe ukuze avikele isitha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ibhodi lenkemba nalo liwuhlobo lokulingisa, olusetshenziselwa ukudida isitha. Amapuleti amathambo kaStegosaurus ayembozwe ngesikhumba semibala ehlukahlukene kanye namaqoqo e-Cycas revoluta Thunb, ezifihla njengokungalula ukubonwa ezinye izilwane.
Ifektri yamaDinosaur aseKawah ikhiqiza i-animatronic Stegosaurus eningi ukuze ithunyelwe kwamanye amazwe emhlabeni wonke minyaka yonke. Singenza ngezifiso impilo efana namamodeli e-animatronic dinosaur ngokuya ngezidingo zamakhasimende, njengokwakheka okuhlukile, osayizi, imibala, ukunyakaza, njll.
