How fast was the ankylosaurus?

Answer 1

They weren't very fast. they had short horozontal legs, already holding up the weight of their body and armour. At the most they'd move at 6 mph(9 kph) in a fast amble.

Speed wasn't their defense. Their defense was to lower their body and swing that tail at attackers. As such since it didn't need speed it was able to bulk up with all that bony Armour. It's like how a turtle doesn't need to run fast to escape a predator.

Answer 2

Ankylosaurus had very short legs and was very heavy because of its bony armor. As a result, Ankylosaurus wasn't very fast. That wasn't a problem, though, because its armor and tail club protected it from predators much more effectively than speed could have.

Answer 3

Ankylosaurus had very short, stocky legs and was heavily built. To add to that, it was covered in heavy armor. For these reasons, Ankylosaurus couldn't run fast. That wasn't a problem for it, though, because its armor and tail club were too formidable a defense for any predator.

Answer 4

it moved at a decent jog
