Did You Know?
Ankylosaurus had one of the most impressive defense mechanisms of any dinosaur with its heavily armored body and a tail club that could deliver devastating blows. Despite its formidable appearance, recent research suggests that Ankylosaurus may have been more social than previously believed, potentially living in small groups for added protection against predators.
