It was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants.45

?Where was Wuerhosaurus found?

Fossils have been found in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, China.34

?How many species of Wuerhosaurus are there?

There are two known species: Wuerhosaurus homheni and Wuerhosaurus ordosensis.3

?Is Wuerhosaurus the same as Stegosaurus?

Some scientists think Wuerhosaurus might actually be a species of Stegosaurus called Stegosaurus homheni, but other scientists disagree.3

?When did Wuerhosaurus live?
