Struthiosaurus had very poor hearing and relied mostly on its armour for defence.1

It was one of the smallest armoured dinosaurs, only about 2 to 3 metres long.1

Struthiosaurus lived on islands in Europe during the Late Cretaceous, which may have made it a dwarf species.2

Its name means 'ostrich lizard' because the first skull piece found looked bird-like.1

Scientists think Struthiosaurus was a slow and solitary animal.1

Three valid species of Struthiosaurus are known: S. austriacus, S. transylvanicus, and S. languedocensis.1
