euoplosaurus, crichtonosaurus, stegosaurus. Each one bigger than the last. Which scientist are now discovering that that the ankylosaurus is probably the juvenile version of the stegosaurus. If you look at the skeletons of those dinosaurs you can see how they absorb the small spike and develop the large bone structures on the back. There are birds that change in bone structure as well while aging.

∙ 7y agoTo answer the question: YES. You will not find any of its closest relatives, but you will definitely find much more distant ones. All ankylosaurs have been extinct for at least 66.043 million years, but that's not the case with theropods. Fossils of dinosaurs such as Microraptor, Sinosauropteryx, have confirmed the notion that birds are in fact a clade of coelurosaur theropod. For example Tyrannosaurus rex is more closely genetically related to that annoying woodpecker which keeps banging on the side than it is to another large theropod like Allosaurus. But yes, birds are theropod dinosaurs, so they are distantly related to ankylosaurs.
