Ankylosaur - Shop

Given the ferocious predators that roamed the planet during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (toothy beasts like Allosaurus, Utahraptor and T. Rex) it would be surprising if some herbivores didn't evolve elaborate defenses. The ankylosaurs (Greek for "fused lizards") are a case in point: to avoid being lunched on, these herbivorous dinosaurs developed tough, scaly body armor, as well as spikes and bony plates, and some had dangerous clubs on the ends of their long tails that they swung at approaching carnivores.
