Zebrasosaurus

Zebrasosaurus, name meaning zebra lizard, is an extinct species of ornithopod Iguanodont dinosaur that lived in what is now North America during the Late Jurassic period. It was one of the first ever species of large herbivorous dinosaur to be discovered with its real color and the first ever large plant eating dinosaur species for which almost the entire life appearance could be determined. It had a similar black-and-white striped colorations similar to that of a modern day African zebra, hence its name, and it also had a feathery mane similar to a hairy mane of a zebra. It is most likely a herd animal, protecting itself against most predators, and even try to run away from predators. It was a herbivore like almost all ornithopod species (with the exception of Carnovorosaurus, the only fully carnivorous ornithopod), feeding mainly on ferns, cycads, and other leafy plants. It is unknown why Zebrasosaurus became extinct at the end of the Jurassic.
