Name Ankylosaurus magniventris Information
Diet Herbivorous Ankylosaurus was a heavily armored herbivorous dinosaur that lived in the late cretaceous period in North America. It had massive knobs of bone and plate covering its back which would have been handy when defending against predators, and it also had a large club on the end of its tail - which no doubt it would have used to swing at its enemies to give them a nasty blow.
