An ankylosaurus in a prehistoric forest

The ankylosaurus stands in dense vegetation made up of prehistoric ferns and horsetails. Its broad body is protected by bony armor, while the heavy club at the end of its tail is one of its most recognizable features. A volcano rises in the background, placing the dinosaur within a dramatic ancient landscape.

Surprising facts about ankylosaurus and its habitat

Horsetails are an ancient group of plants that existed long before flowering plants became widespread. Ankylosaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur, and its low head was well suited to feeding on vegetation growing near the ground. Its tail club may have helped it defend itself from large predators.

  • Ankylosaurus armor: earthy brown, muted green, sandy tan, or dark gray
  • Bony plates and tail club: brownish gray or stone gray

Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Was ankylosaurus covered in a shell like a turtle?
No. Its protection came from hard bony plates embedded in its skin rather than one solid shell.
What did ankylosaurus eat?
It ate plants, probably including low-growing leaves, shoots, and other soft vegetation that it could reach easily.
Could ankylosaurus swing its tail club?
Scientists think the strong muscles at the base of its tail allowed it to swing the club with considerable force when threatened.
