'''Struthiosaurus is one of the few armored dinosaurs to live in Europe and even fewer to live along side other nodosaurs in Europe, though unlike other armored dinosaurs it lived far throughout the continent of Europe and may have been the more common than some other nodosaurs in France or Spain. Though with very little to go by on what this animal looks like this is an estimated guess on what it may look like through the few pieces that it has been found in, and also that the spikes on it's body may have been used like barb wire as a defense mechanism against predators so that it they attack them they could get hurt more than the Struthiosaurus. Even though it didn't possess a club tail it could still move it's body sideways with some thrust and using the spike on its sides it could deal major damage if it landed a hit on a predator.'''

'''Struthiosaurus though was non the less a small browser and might have lived in a more tropical environment rather than wide open spaces or a forest which might have helped it hide from much larger predators due to its smaller mass. They might have behaved similar to that of a tapir but, more defensive. '''
