The Ankylosaurus was discovered by Barnum Brown in 1906. He gave it the name Ankylosaurus in 1908.
Ankylosaurus fossils have been found in the of Montana and Wyoming in the USA. They have also been found in the Canadian province, Alberta.
Ankylosaurus fossils have been found in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana and the Lance Formation of Wyoming. They have also been found in the Scollard Formation of Alberta, in Canada.
The scientific name of an ankylosaurus is Ankylosaurus magniventris.
Ankylosaurus was discovered by Barnum Brown in 1906. It was found in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana.
Ankylosaurus ate low growing plants in its natural habitat. It would have known what was and wasn't edible either instinctively or by learning from its parents (if they were raised by their parents, which is unknown). If there were no edible plants in sight, the Ankylosaurus would travel until it found them.
Ankylosaurus fossils have been found in Wyoming and Montana in the USA, and Alberta, Canada. Between 66.5 and 65.5 million years ago, this area was a coastal floodplain.
Ankylosaurus's entire back, tail, neck, and head was covered in bony armor that was impenetrable by Tyrannosaurus. In addition, Ankylosaurus was armed with a bony tail club that would easily have been lethal to an attacking Tyrannosaurus. For these reasons, it is no surprise that Ankylosaurus fossils are never found with Tyrannosaurus bite marks, unlike the fossils of other contemporary herbivores like Edmontosaurus and Triceratops, which are frequently found to have been eaten by Tyrannosaurus. Thus, it is safe to say that Tyrannosaurus rarely, if ever, attacked Ankylosaurus.
Ankylosaurus was covered in bony plates of armor on its back, head, neck, tail, and sides. The plates were there two make Ankylosaurus impenetrable to attack by predators. They were very effective, too. Unlike fossils of Edmontosaurus and Triceratops, two herbivorous dinosaurs that lived in the same place at the same time as Ankylosaurus, Ankylosaurus fossils are never found with Tyrannosaurus tooth marks.
Ankylosaurus was native to western North America. Its fossils have been found in Montana, USA, and Alberta, Canada, and date to between 66.5 and 65.5 million years ago.
