The type specimen of Wuerhosaurus is a partial skeleton stored at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing.1
Wuerhosaurus lived alongside the meat-eating dinosaur Kelmayisaurus and the pterosaur Noripterus.2
Its back vertebrae had deep hollows above the spinal cord, which is different from other stegosaurs.1
Wuerhosaurus was a ground-dwelling herbivore that probably moved on all four legs.5
