Ankylosaurs have always been my favorite kind of dinosaur. They're like easily underestimated, not very bright, grumpy armored tanks. There is something about them I find oddly adorable.

I remember having a book when I was a kid showing a T-rex fighting a stegosaurus. It blew my mind when I found out that we live closer in time to the T-rex than the T-rex lived to Stegosaurus.

Predators like T. rex would have learned early in life to go after easier prey. After all, having just two legs, if it suffered a broken bone in one of it's lower legs from an Ankylosaurus club, that would be a death sentence. And as I think about it, populations of Ankylosaurus wouldn't need large numbers to survive as a genus (species?) due to a very low predation rate once achieving adulthood. A pretty ingenious animal.

The "I'll break your ankles" saurus.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of the ankylosaur "mummy" found in Canada. It was a type of Nodosaur. It's scales, spikes, and plates were absurdly well preserved. Look into it.
@kruaser123
I would argue that if a T-rex was desperate enough to attack a full grown Ankylosaurus, and had its leg shattered, there is a very slim chance it would hobble towards an area that would be ideal for fossilization like a swamp or someplace where two working legs are necessary.

Ankylosaurus strikes me as a dinosaur that best embodies the concept of personal space. The fact that it was essentially an armoured tank armed with a literal wrecking ball strikes me as not the sort of thing that a particularly sociable animal would have.
@bluemilkalienmonster522
Ankylosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, always has been, always will be
@charlierex2614
I love Ankylosaurus and Tyrannosaurus- two amazing dinosaurs.
@youyoutobio
I wonder how much pain and broken bones his ancestors had to endure for this beast to develop this massive armour

8:02 was savage.. he couldnt even be bothered to get up to do it 🤣
@billyskittles1036
T. Rex more than likely wasn’t scared of it, but probably knew it wasn’t able to get past the armor so it didn’t waste its time.

Doctor: "Your BMI is way off" Ankylosaurus: "Yeah yeah I hear it every time. C'mon Doc, don't you account for bone structure and muscle mass??"
@igvtec
Ever since, I found out about Ankylosaurus. I thought it was a impressive beast of a dinosaur.

Servosaurus: Welcome to Jurassic Restaurant! What'll you have? Ankylosaurus: How about a club sandwich? Servosaurus: You're in luck! That's our bony-plate special of the day.
@Saurophaganax1931
Only five incomplete Ankylosaurus specimens have ever been found. Contrast that to the literal tens of thousands of Edmontosaurus and Triceratops specimens that have been discovered, and it’s no surprise that we haven’t any Ankylosaurus specimens with T. rex bite marks on them. It’s not because T. rex never fed on them. It’s because the available sample size for Ankylosaurus specimens is so insanely tiny that the likelihood of finding any evidence of feeding on them would be a statistical wonder.
@timp1293
Ankylosaurus is an interesting animal with a special build for survival. It’s probably the only animal in Cretaceous period that’s not afraid of the T Rex.

i love how some of the drawings are super expressive
