Wuerhosaurus 

Only a few bones have been found; there has never been a complete reconstruction of this herbivore. Its actual shape is unknown. The neural spines were large and developed. Its neck was long, similar to the Stegosaurus. Its head and brain seemed relatively small. It was slightly heavier than a hippopotamus.a0

It is one of the last stegosaurs to have existed. Its name means “reptile of Wuerho”, a city in China. 75 specimens have been found.
