Stegosaurus and the Virgin Mary

LEVEAUX
The Stegosaurus, is an early Cretaceous herbivore. It feeds on rough grasses and other grazeable
plantlife. The large vertical plates along its spine are either for heat storage, or for defense.
Conversely, it's tail spikes are its offensive attack against the larger carnivores. Note that the
Stegosaur is a quadruped, its neck and tail are slung very low to the ground, and it can attain
speeds of only 10 to 15 miles per hour. It's skin is hand-painted fiberglass over a thin aluminum
endoskeleton. This makes it relatively sturdy, though still fragile and susceptible to damage from
sharp objects or crushing blows.

The Virgin Mary, on the other hand is made of plastic and should be kept away from open flames.
