Its first name was Omosaurus. Later it was renamed after someone discovered that there was already an extinct crocodile with the same name.
Lived during the Jurassic period in Europe.
Some studies suggest that It used to fight with Allosauruses, and although It wasn't very fast, its armour helped them to keep Itself safe.
Dacentrurus was part of the Stegosauria family. The most famous member of the family is, of course, the Stegosaurus.
They were as massive as two rhinoceros 🦏🦏
