Muhuru is a presumed dinosaur relic that has been reported from the jungles of Kenya. It is described as a heavily-armoured beast with thick bone plates on its back and a club-like tail. A widespread hypothesis is that it is a modern-day descendant of the genus "Stegosaurus", although "Stegosaurus" was not heavily armored, and had a thagomizer at the end of its tail, rather than a bony club; both are features found in ankylosaurs, not stegosaurs.
