Ankylosaurus Magniventris / Ankylosaurus magniventris


These dinosaurs were the prehistoric tanks of their time. They were covered with hard, bony plates that offered superb protection, although this animal is very large it actually has  a very small brain and wasn't very intelligent. Obviously this dinosaur is now extinct and has been for a long time now.

Predators would have had to flip the squat, four-legged animal over, exposing its unprotected underbelly, to find a weak spot. 

Scientists say that the Ankylosaurus had a beak and small teeth, which it used to browse the large quantities of plants necessary to sustain a three - to four-ton body. 






The dinosaur is the size of a bus ...
