Ankylosaurus

One of the biggest ankylosaurs, ankylosaurus had a large body, covered thick skin and armoured plates called scutes.

With a wide beak and small teeth, ankylosaurus would consume around 60kg of foliage a day in order to maintain its bulk. Digestion was probably aided by a large tongue which would manoeuvre food around its mouth before swallowing.

Ankylosaurus is famous for being equipped with a large clubbed tail. This would have been a useful weapon, whether to discourage predators or during squabbles with other members of their own species.
