Ankylosaurus at the river bend
The Ankylosaurus faces left with its mouth slightly open and all four strong legs visible. Dome-shaped armor covers its back, and spikes protect its sides. A smooth river stone and a piece of driftwood lie in front of its snout, while the river winds between grassy, reed-covered banks. Pebbles and sandy shallows fill the foreground.
Life along a prehistoric river
River bends form as flowing water erodes the outer bank and leaves sediment along the inner bank. Reeds favor wet ground and shallow water, where their roots can help hold soft soil in place. A heavily built herbivore such as Ankylosaurus would have found low-growing vegetation more accessible than food high in trees.
Natural colors along the riverbank
- Ankylosaurus skin: its true color is unknown, but earthy brown, olive, tan, or muted gray would be plausible
- Armor plates and side spikes: unknown in life, with natural-looking shades ranging from sandy beige to dark brown
- River water: often blue-green, brown, or gray depending on the sky, depth, and suspended sediment
- Reeds and grass: green during active growth, becoming straw yellow or brown when dry
- Clay banks, sand, and pebbles: mixtures of ocher, rust, tan, gray, and dark brown
