An Armored Ankylosaurus on the March

The scene presents a heavily armored Ankylosaurus stepping forward across a ground covered in short grass. Its wide, low body features thick protective plates and a heavy club on the end of its tail.

Fascinating Facts About Ankylosaurus

Ankylosaurus was covered in bony armor plates called osteoderms embedded directly in its skin, similar to modern armadillos and crocodiles. Its powerful tail club consisted of fused vertebrae and massive bone knobs capable of breaking a predator's legs. To stay safe, Ankylosaurus would crouch low to the ground so meat-eaters could not reach its soft belly.

Real Colors of Ankylosaurus

  • Armored back plates: Dark charcoal gray, brownish-black, or muddy brown
  • Underbelly: Pale grayish-beige or sandy tan
  • Tail club: Weathered bone gray or dull brown
  • Patch of grass: Olive green, muted yellow, or brownish-green
