Inside the Ankylosaurus landscape

Shown from the side, the Ankylosaurus stands on a low hill with clumps of tall grass nearby. More rolling hills stretch across the background. Its broad body and protective armor make the dinosaur the unmistakable focus of this quiet outdoor setting.

Interesting facts about dinosaur armor

Ankylosaurus belonged to a group of dinosaurs protected by bony plates called osteoderms, which formed within the skin. Its low, sturdy body helped support that heavy armor. The famous club at the end of its tail could be swung as a defense against large predators.

Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Was Ankylosaurus a plant-eater?
Yes. Its beak and small teeth were adapted for eating vegetation, especially plants growing close to the ground.
How did its armor protect it?
Hard plates covered much of its back and sides, making attacks more difficult. Its low build also kept vulnerable parts of the body close to the ground.
Could Ankylosaurus use its tail club as a weapon?
Scientists think a mature animal could swing the heavy club with considerable force. It was probably an important defense when a predator approached.
